This is a sweet, funny book--more a series of vignettes than a cohesive story. And while my library is significantly different from Don Borchet's, in many ways, I found myself surprised by the similarities, both in his and my outlook and in other funny little particulars.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is curious about the mindset one needs to work in public libraries--or the bedlam one finds inside them.
