Chapter 14. A Final Word 

Well, it's over and you're still standing. You've survived and, no doubt, have completed a project of which your library can be proud.

The intent of this Manual is to attempt to answer most of your questions and to help you manage your project. We hope that when all seems to be going wrong, or not as planned, it will be able to put a small smile on your face or at least make you feel that you are not the only Project Director who has experienced such problems.

As you complete your project, you should feel a sense of accomplishment that all the work has been worthwhile and the results have served to improve services to the population it was meant to reach. Many successful programs currently in our libraries started in much the same way and continue to provide meaningful services. Congratulations on joining that group of individuals and may yours continue to be a valuable service to your community for many years to come.
