Review of 'This is what a librarian looks like' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Libraries and librarians do more than most people know. This collection of librarian profiles (photo and comment) and author essays is enlightening, thoughtful, and, at times, sobering.

[I was disappointed to find several glaring editing mistakes—misspelled words and the like. Hopefully, they'll be corrected in a future edition; but, I don't want to wait to buy my own copy (I borrowed from my favorite public library, of course!)]
