This piece was a compilation of Scott Douglas' Dispatches from a Public Librarian which were originally published in McSweeney's. It also included a few of his library-related essays. Although a short read, these dispatches cover a wide range of Scott's experiences while working in a Public Library. The stories range from funny, to sad, to terrifying - and each contain elements that anyone who has worked in a library - or many other public service positions - can relate to.
I had read many of these entries as posts on McSweeney's prior to seeing them together as an ebook, and I have to say, the experience was more enjoyable in this format, mainly because they were sequential and I had a whole bunch of them at my disposal all at once! Instant gratification and all that, sort of my thing when it comes to reading. Hence the love for the Nook, and ebook format, I suppose!
I am glad that Scott Douglas released this compilation, and I look forward to more in the future!
