Back in early January I read a review of Free For All: Oddballs, Geeks, and Gangstas in the Public Library
by Don Borchert on One Literature Nut. This seemed like something I would enjoy so it put it on my library list. Amazingly, the library had it on the shelf the next time I went so I actually get to cross something off my list earlier, rather than later.Borchert is a librarian at a small library in a large system. He's written a book telling about his experience with the patrons and the employees of said library. The book is full of little insider scenes from a library that I am sure librarian bloggers are all too familiar with. Turns out as many people want to scam their library as want to scam their credit union! Free for All is a quick read, one that I enjoyed, but you have to appreciate a little bit of bite with your humor or you may find it a bit harsh.
