About the Contributors
Book Five of the Small Museum Toolkit is an invaluable resource for those who want to learn the ins and outs of solid interpretation. Contributors, whose insights come from years of experience on the front line, identify the most important things to keep in mind when planning and coordinating programs and exhibits. This is a book that I will share with paid and volunteer staff alike.
