This Book Is Overdue!: How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All

by Marilyn Johnson


"In tough times, a librarian is a terrible thing to waste." ~Marilyn Johnson

"Librarian's values are as sound as Girl Scouts': truth, free-speech, and universal literacy. And, like the Scouts, they possess a quality that I think make librarians invaluable and indispensable: they want to help. They want to help us. They want to be of service. And they're not trying to sell us anything."
(pg. 8)

Marilyn Johnson made me fall even more in love when she states that "cupcakes were the official snack of young librarians." (pg. 211)
