Tactical urbanism for librarians : quick, low-cost ways to make big changes / Quick, low-cost ways to make big changes Karen Munro. - ix, 164 pages ; 23 cm

An introduction to tactical urbanism -- Tactical urbanism case studies. Sidebar : some useful urbanism concepts -- A realistic tactical approach. Sidebar : how about tactical business practices? -- Library case studies -- Library meets city -- Coming back to earth -- A library leader's guide to building a tactical library -- Twelve steps to becoming a tactical library interventionist. Sidebar : tactical follow-ups and where to find more -- Summing up.
The term "tactical urbanism" is a new phrase for a type of action that has existed for centuries: actions designed to improve a city or neighborhood with minimal oversight, budget, or delay. It's usually local, immediate, and accomplished without a lot of training or resources. Munro shows that, although libraries have reputations as traditional and bureaucratic, they are also communal systems which can utilize the grassroots, humanist values of tactical urbanism.
