Book: This Book Is Overdue!

Marilyn Johnson's This Book Is Overdue! is an advocate for librarians. - I finished this book just in one day. Yes, we, the librarians, are NOT dead yet in the electonic age. I have heard so many times, "We have Google; and we donot need librarian." WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! As Johnson points out in the first chapter, "we are not dinosaurs." (p. 9) - If you think "we are ded" then you need to READ this book, PLEASE!

This book provides insight into the new role of librarinas and the new world of libraries. It is very informative and at the same time very funny.

Nous sommes les bibliothecaires; nous sommes pas morts poutant.
我々は、図書館員です。しかし、ながら 私たちが 死んでいません。
我們是圖書館員,我們還沒死。
We are the librarians; we are not dead yet.
