This Book Is Overdue; How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save the World / Marilyn Johnson / 272 pages

Although this book perhaps has a somewhat limited audience, the title is catchy and the text is entertaining, informative, and inspiring.  Ms. Johnson recounts her various interviews, meetings, and correspondences with amazing individuals impacting the library scene.  She praises librarians as "someone educated and committed to the preservation and dissemination of knowledge" and issues a challenge to us all..."The public library must remain 'the people's university'...and librarians can get involved and shape the future or they can sit back and watch the changes.
