Acknowledgments
As with any project of this size and breadth, I owe a debt of thanks to a variety of colleagues and friends upon the journey. Mary Beth Riedner and a multitude of other librarian colleagues have shared their stories, their frustrations, and their inspirations as they pioneer services to those living with dementia, as well as in their personal lives of Alzheimer's caregiving. Dan Freeman, Ninah Moore, and other staff at the American Library Association and ASGCLA encouraged and supported my writing of earlier professional training projects in library dementia services. Many colleagues at the Columbus Metropolitan Library and the Kent State University Library kept me fed with documents and resources during the research. My special thanks go to Anthony Bernier, Michael Blackwell, Belinda Boon, Lili Luo, and Kristen Rebmann for feedback and encouragement on early materials, as well as Charlotte Maiorana, Charlie Wilson, and the rest of the editorial staff at Emerald for their high level of professionalism and editorial support. Above all, the project would not have happened without the life of Dr Barbara Joyce Lake and the tireless and generous support, intellectual polish, and inspiration of Dr Jennifer Hambrick.
