Lover of Libraries!


THE PUBLIC LIBRARY: A Photographic Essay             
By: Robert Dawson                 5 Stars

I am sure I am a little biased with my opinion of this book. I work in a library and have loved the idea of them for quite a long time. Of course I loved this book!

As stated in the subtitle, the book contains quite a few pictures, including short paragraphs describing the pictured library. In the midst of these pictures, you will find a few pages describing the history of libraries, how they have evolved over the years, the challenges they face, letters of appreciation, and other fun side notes.

As it is mostly pictures, it is a quick read and is a book I consider to be valuable to library systems and communities.
