Running the Books: The Adventures of an Accidental Prison Librarian





by Avi Steinberg

I'm not really sure what to say about this one.  First, I take issue with him calling himself a librarian.  He doesn't have the degree, therefore he isn't a librarian.

That aside, this is a true story.  You won't find me working in a prison library.  No way.  But I guess someone has to do it, so a recent college graduate who doesn't know what else to do with his life would fit the bill.

There are parts where I think he is incredibly stupid.  There are parts where I feel that I would do the same thing, regardless of the 'rules'.  I guess I really did like this.  It's so far removed from what I would do with my life.  It was kind of nice to read something where the main character is not someone like me.  Will never be someone like me.

If you like libraries and/or books.  Read this.  Then get a hold of me and let's talk.  I don't think you will regret it!

3 out of 5 stars.
