This Book Is Overdue!: How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All by Marilyn Johnson
4.0
As a recent graduate of a MLIS program and a library worker bee myself I was excited to read this book of stories about other librarians.
What was so great about this book was that she focused on librarians who defy the stereotypes. These stories show the public that librarians are more than just gray haired shushers guarding books. They are people of all ages, races, and belief systems united in the goal of helping people, and the ways they are able to do that are as varied as their backgrounds. I really appreciate Johnson's enthusiasm for librarians, and I hope the one thing that other people take away from this book is that same enthusiasm.
Ironically as I write this my copy of the book is in fact one day overdue! Never fear my library has a three day grace period and the book will be returned in the morning:)
