The author, Marilyn Johnson, is not a librarian, but I like that someone outside our field felt strongly enough to write a whole book about how we are anything but obsolete. An interesting side note is that she became interested in librarians after writing a book about obituaries--she found that librarians tended to have these really interesting lives. Not surprising. Any other suggestions for great summer reading?

I agree whole heartedly that this book is inspiring.
Another great audio podcast is "Circulate This: Stories from the School Library". The California School LIbrary Association created this powerful advocation tool.

Hey-
Have you seen the Backyardigans episode about librarians? I love it. It's called the Masked Avenger (I think) & I keep meaning to put it on a thumb drive and bring it in to Barbara. So cute.
Cheers,
Amy
