Book Reviews of Quiet, Please: Dispatches from a Public Librarian
Book Review: Not for me.
Summary: 2 Stars
Having just embarked on a career as a librarian, I was keen to get some insights from this book. Many of his experiences certainly ring through. However, probably for comedic value, the author plays up certain stories and confrontations but these come across more as intense self-absorption rather than being funny.
