Maxwell, a former librarian and library director who runs a grant development company that specializes in locating, writing, and evaluating grants for libraries and other educational organizations, explains how to use the research ability of libraries to divert funds from grants for other organizations to the library itself. She outlines the grant development process and how to get involved in other organizations' grants; find grant developers for collaboration, within the library or by locating a grant writer, an organization that has previously submitted a grant, or one that is developing a grant, and demonstrating what the library can do for them; work with and conduct research for grant developers; incorporate the library into the proposal; support grant projects through materials or publicity; and create lasting partnerships with organizations. She ends with discussion of grant-writing careers for librarians. Annotation Ac2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
