Seriously, it just doesn't get any better than Unshelved. Bill & Gene are geniuses and I love their work.

Another great Unshelved! It really is eerie how much of this could be pulled from my own life and work experience. :) In this volume I loved that there are big changes going on in the lives of the characters, though I would trade Colleen back for Dyna any day. Hilarious, as always!

Confronted by the Great recession, as well as the usual collection of eccentric characters, the clientele, the Mallville Public Library is forced to make budget cuts. At the last moment Colleen the "old school reference librarian," retires and saves the staff from the horror of layoffs. A week later she’s replaced by library assistant Dyna, who is smart, savvy and snarky. In the midst of all this, YA librarian Dewey confronts the looming responsibilities of fatherhood. Once again Ambaum and Barnes have turned the day to day operations of a library into steady stream of LOL comic strips.

Mostly entertaining library humor but there were a couple of lesbian jokes which were disappointing in their inclusion due to their negative bent.
