This book highlights the challenges that rural libraries experience and offers best practices to contend with them with limited resources.

Nearly 50% of libraries in the United States are considered rural. These libraries face unique challenges and issues that continue to manifest as they contend with the systematic problem of access to information. These challenges include: Financial barriers such as the drying up of recent federal and local grant funds for both rural municipalities and public libraries specifically; broadband accessibility; Ebook access; mobile hotspot circulation and community access points outside the library; and more. How can librarians address these accessibility issues? This book highlights these challenges and offers best practices to contend with them given the limited resources rural libraries have access to.
