More Q & A with the author!

Blogger: Although the book is 70 pages long, it feels complete. Did you think of making it longer?
Author: Yes, I did. It was a bit longer at first, but after several edits, it just flowed better as it is now. Besides, 70 is a good number.
Blogger: Indeed, it is. What are your hopes with the book?
Author: You mean besides that millions of people would buy it? (Laughs) No, really, my hope is that in this chaotic economic climate people can have an escape and a way of channeling their frustration, librarians included.
Blogger: You do cover some controversial topics, such as budget cuts, questionable library procedures and rude patrons.
Author: And these are all real topics. These are topics that librarians face daily, and for that matter, patrons do too.
Blogger: You were a Library Page when you started writing this?
Author: No, I wrote it later, but it does cover my time as a Library Page.
Blogger: How soon can we expect the book to be released?
Author: Very soon.

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!
