About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The library saved her. Now she wants to save the library.

I'm a librarian. Every day I encounter people. I serve the regulars, the crime enthusiasts, the bookworms, the homeless, the eccentrics, the jobless, the teenagers, the toddlers, the aged. I know my community well. And they know me.

The library is a sanctuary for some, a place for warmth for others and, on many occasions, an internet café. It's not always the books that bring us together. That's why you might be surprised to hear that I've been a witness to an attempted murder, a target for a drugs gang and the last hope for people in desperate poverty. The quirks of library life. But what I didn't expect was for a simple part-time job to become a passionate battle for survival, both for me and for the library.

I'm sharing stories from my daily life to show you that being a librarian isn't what you think it is. Libraries are falling apart at the seams, and we need to start caring before its too late. So this is my eye-opening account of the strange and wonderful library that saved me and why I'm on a mission to save yours.

Emotionally charged battle cry for libraries and communities

A richly told account of a community, with a very real set of challenges, tragedies and pain countered with a strong message of hope. Inspiring personal reflections and wish more people would hear stories like this to understand the value of our common spaces and people who maintain them.
