If you are a public law librarian, a public law library trustee, or interested in pursuing a career in public law librarianship, here’s a great book and a book review:

We have a copy in our Law Library and your law library may have one, too.
Question: WHO uses the Oregon county law libraries and for what purpose(s)?
Answer: Thousands of people use the Oregon county law libraries, because no other publicly accessible library has their specialized legal research resources, including databases, books, and professional law librarians.
