Published in cooperation with the American Library Association, an insider’s look at one of the most prevalent, yet commonly misunderstood institutions! Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly of librarian William Ottens’s experience working behind service desks and in the stacks of public libraries, most recently at the Lawrence Public Library in Kansas. In Librarian Tales, published in cooperation with the American Library Association, readers will learn about strange things librarians have found in book drops, weird and obscure reference questions, the stress of tax season, phrases your local librarians never want to hear, stories unique to children’s librarians, and more. Ottens uncovers common pet peeves among his colleagues, addresses misguided assumptions and stereotypes, and shares several hilarious stories along the way. This book is must reading for any librarian, or anyone who loves books and libraries, though non-library folks will also laugh and cry (from laughing) while reading this lighthearted analysis of your local community pillar, the library.

Libraries, with their miles and miles of books, are, for writers and readers alike, the magical portal to new worlds -- the source of terrors, delights, and pleasures aplenty. In In the Stacks, noted author and librarian Michael Cart has gathered nineteen enthralling stories about libraries and librarians. They range from a classic by Isaac Babel ("The Public Library") to Jorge Luis Borges's brilliant tale of a library stretching to infinity ("The Library of Babel"), and from Lorrie Moore's contemporary masterpiece "Community Life" to Francine Prose's "Rubber Life." Saki, Ray Bradbury, Alice Munro and John Cheever -- among others -- are also represented in this collection that readers, booksellers, and librarians would agree is long overdue. Book jacket.

(c) 2012 Brannen Publishing Shhh! Somewhere in the Great Pacific Northwest, the librarians of Big Beaver County are looking for love-or at least, job security-with comical and often calamitous results. Wherever you lurk in your local library-the 523s (solar system), 597s (insects), 612.6s (sex and reproduction), or 641.5s (cooking)-you are unlikely to meet a wackier, wittier or more wonderful collection of characters than the quirky crew in Big Beaver County. When they're not scheming to sweeten up their superiors or set up their colleagues for downsizing, they're scripting erotic encounters and trying to outdo each other with their literary tattoos! Life between the stacks isn't really like this-or is it? Beaver Bluff: The Librarian Stories includes six humorous short stories: "Fly Guy"; "Breathless in Beaver Bluff"; "Vital Signs"; "Last Tango in Tangier"; "G.K. Loves C.K."; "I'll Tell You Mine if You'll Tell Me Yours." What are people saying about this collection of six Big Beaver County stories? "Beaver Bluff is a rollicking and ribald account of what goes on behind the Circulation Desk." Susan Juby, author of The Woefield Poultry Collective "A whimsical, witty and wacky collection of stories about life in the stacks of the fictional Big Beaver County Library. No library card required to check out these weird and wonderful characters-just a love of laughter." Lois Peterson, author and 30-year library staffer

This groundbreaking book about developing the professional dispositions of school librarians uses three fictionalized librarians to serve as authentic models addressing familiar topics and situations. Tales Out of the School Library: Developing Professional Dispositions is a book that empowers anyone working in the school library to redefine their practice to meet the needs of young learners today. It covers familiar, everyday topics of the most concern to practitioners—assessment, literacy and reading, diversity, intellectual freedom, communication, collaboration, and more. But it is the approach that makes this book unique. Each chapter of Tales Out of the School Library begins with a story from one of three fictional, yet recognizably authentic library media specialists—composites of real professionals, each with distinctive personalities, strengths, and challenges. These tales of elementary, middle, and high school librarians play out over the course of a school year, and serve as the focal point for discussions of essential aspects of teaching, communication, and leadership. Follow-up questions, an annotated bibliography, connections to AASL's Standards for the 21st-Century Learner, and discussion questions further add to the value of this innovative volume.

Libraries, with their miles and miles of books are, for writers and readers alike, the magical portal to new worlds-the source of terrors, delights, and pleasures aplenty. Here, in one volume, noted author and librarian Michael Cart has assembled a fascinating collection of twentieth century short fiction about libraries and librarians: from such classics as Borges's "The Library of Babel" and Isaac Babel's "The Public Library," to such contemporary gems as John Cheever's "Trouble of Marcie Flint" and Lorrie Moore's "Community Life." Love, lunacy, obsession, and the joy of reading come together in a collection that readers, booksellers, and librarians would agree is long overdue.
