The public library as a protective factor: An introduction to library social workThe article covers how social work is implemented in a library setting. Lloyd mentions working with those experiencing homelessness, those seeking mental health services, and other services that provide for welfare. This is relevant because it provides a first-person view of the specific ways social workers help community members in a public library. Lloyd’s experiences provide a basis for which services may be most readily utilized by community members.
