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

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!)]
