Characters reacting to the recent news of budget cuts
It took me almost two years to finish the book, writing on and off. During that time, many things have changed in my life and in the library system. As I mentioned earlier, now they want to close down 13 libraries. We will know for sure by September. What would the characters on the book (some loosely based on real people) say about this?
This is what the branch manager, Robert Pearce would say:
"I can't believe that they want to shut down 13 public libraries! They might as well tell the kids to drop out of school and become alcoholics."

Endorsements for the book
This book is a collection of hilarious (mostly) true stories that happened to me while working at the Miami Dade Public Library System. Although I did deal with the issue of Budget Cuts in the book, I could have never guessed how bad things are getting. They are proposing to close over a dozen branches and they are probably going to lay off nearly 200 employees. But well, more on that craziness later.
Here are a few wonderful endorsements for the book:
"Way funnier than my book!" - Tina Phey
"The best book of the decade." - A 10-year-old
"The Office meets the Library." - A TV fanatic and avid reader
"This is my favorite book of all time!" - My wife
The ebook comes out this summer! Details coming soon!
