4 posts | 2 read
Library humorist Roz Warren, author of the popular Our Bodies, Our Shelves: A Collection of Library Humor, is back with a new book about the joys and challenges of library life, Just Another Day at Your Local Library: An Insider's Tales of Library Life. Roz, whose work has appeared everywhere from The Funny Times to The New York Times, will make you smile, laugh out loud and maybe even groan with disbelief as she shares her real-life stories about what goes on behind the scenes at your local public library. What really happens behind the circulation desk? And in the stacks? And what does your favorite librarian REALLY think of you? Roz, who has been featured on both Morning Edition and The Today Show, tells all! What's the nuttiest excuse ever given for returning a book late? The most shocking sight captured by a library security camera? The funniest location a misplaced DVD has been found? What simple thing can you do to make a librarian's day? In twenty-six entertaining essays, you'll meet librarians looking for love, coping with challenging patrons, dreaming impossible dreams, finding amazing surprises in the book drop and saving lives. The most closely guarded library secrets will be revealed. You'll never look at your local public library the same away again!

If you love books, libraries, & a good sense of humor, then this is a must read book! This was our 2024 kick off book for book club; a year of reading books about books... Straight from the librarians mouth, this is a collection of humorous responses to frequent Library occurrences and questions. A compilation from both the authors library, & librarians across the country. From puzzling, to funny, to cringe worthy, such a fun read!

I saw that this book was full of essays written by a library humorist on the funny happenings at the library. However it turned out to be mostly compiled of quick answers to a question. Quotes copy and pasted from other librarians in an online group. Don't get me wrong there were some funny and crazy answers. I think this would make a better newspaper column though.
