Abstract
With proper training, librarians could be ideal partners to combat domestic abuse in rural areas. This article examines the specific needs of domestic violence victims in rural areas where shelters and legal services are often limited, explains the role of unauthorized practice of law policies, and highlights successful library initiatives that model how such programs might work.
