audio by title scott douglas - quiet please dispatches from a public library

SCOTT DOUGLAS is a librarian at the Anaheim Public Library. He has written a hilarious yet touching memoir about what librarians really do, and only a little of it is about books. Mostly librarians interface with a public that includes hungry homeless families; paranoid crazy people, teenage thugs, bitter older people and kids out to hack the library PCs. It’s all in a days work if you are a real “public servant” and it’s all worthwhile because you really can help people.
