Author

Each chapter speaks in a different voice and a different person’s story; all revolving around the deeply held love of books. It definitely leaves the reader wanting to read more books and to hang out more in libraries too. Each librarian has a life worth living and reading about. In fact, I think this book should be a must-read in an assortment of literary circles and definitely for those studying library sciences. Throughout each chapter it beckons the unique heartfelt realizations of what true love is and how great literature is at its core .
