Wonderful for book and library lovers submitted by sbleanunez on August 15, 2019, 5:42pm I love books about books and libraries. This photo book pairs photos of librarians with their words about why libraries matter, sprinkled with some longer reflections. The photos highlight the diverse face of librarianship today, and the quotes and essays feature a range of types of libraries and librarians, from academic to children’s to rural to inside prisons. It is a beautiful celebration indeed!
