description: In This Book is Overdue! acclaimed author Marilyn Johnson celebrates libraries and librarians and as she did in her popular first book The Dead Beat  discovers offbeat and eloquent characters in the quietest corners. In defiance of doomsayers Johnson finds librarians more vital and necessary than ever as they fuse the tools of the digital age with love for the written word and the enduring values of truth service to all and free speech. This Book Is Overdue! is a romp through the ranks of information professionals who organize our messy world and offer old-fashioned human help through the maze.
