Product Description
Book Description
Puts the Shhh! in Shocking

Synopsis
The public library is a haven of calm, source of information, home to the student, the geek and the aging librarian. Or so you might think. Don Borchert's ten years as assistant librarian have taught him that a library is more than just a place to borrow books, it's also a place where people hide from the law, fall in love, fight, deal drugs, introduce their children to reading, look up porn and pursue their dreams. Borchett's hilarious memoir delves behind the bookshelves as he discovers the weird, dangerous and downright dirty world of a public library and the fearless civil servants who patrol its aisles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delight, 20 Jul 2008
This is a sometimes hilarious and often touching glimpse into the life of a long-term assistant librarian in Los Angeles. Anybody who has ever used a library in any country (which should be everybody) needs to read this. Don is a natural storyteller and I can only hope that he'll write other, equally wonderful books in the near future.
