From Cooperstown to Oneonta, much of the rich architectural heritage of New York State’s Otsego County is wonderfully preserved; much of it waits to be explored. Diantha Schull presents more than 200 of the county’s eighteenth- and nineteenth-century buildings, sophisticated and simple alike—their styles, uses, histories, preservation, and sometimes their destruction. From great, Romanesque public buildings, classical Greek Revival estates, and fanciful Victorian homes, to one-room schools, octagonal barns, and modest Federal farmhouses, these buildings create a vivid record of the styles, tastes, and necessities of past centuries. Schull sharpens our appreciation for that mix of architecture and history unique to each town or village, its sense of community. Whether used for agriculture, industry, commerce, religion, education, government, or residence, each building is best seen in this holistic context. With hundreds of photographs, a map, and history as a guide, Schull opens our eyes to the architecture of the county, to careful restoration, to adaptive re-use, and to neglect. She encourages us to discover for ourselves the irreplaceable physical heritage around us.

Innovation in Action

By: Diantha Dow Schull

Adults over the age of 55 constitute some of the most engaged and frequent users of public libraries. They may also be the most misunderstood. As Baby Boomers continue to swell their ranks, behavior and trends in older adults have changed dramaticaly in the last ten years--and most literature on this topic is hopelessly out of date. Schull, co-editor of Boomers and Beyond, helps improve the situation by * Presenting over a dozen case studies of public library programs for older adults, spotlightin best practices that can be applied at other institutions * Detailing a four-year program, presented by the Lifelong Access Libraries National Leadership Institute, that trains librarians to meet the needs of people over the age of 50 * Discussing issues such as creativity, health, financial planning, heritage adn planning, and intergenerational activities from the over-50 perspective, laying out the trends and implications for libraries * Including samples of materials that illustrate new approaches to policies, staffing, programs, services, partnerships, and publicity Containing the keys to reshaping library services for older adults, Schull's book needs to be in the collection of every public library.
