Free For All: Oddballs, Geeks, and Gangstas in the Public Library by Don Borchert
Probably most controversial in library circles is the fact that while Borchert claims the title of "librarian" he does not in fact hold the professional degree that is usually required for such a job. Nevertheless, Borchert nails it: dealing with the homeless, dealing with abandoned kids, dealing with anything and everything. This tell-all memoir truly pulls aside the curtain for the state of affairs in public libraries today. He does it with a light sense of humour and a terrific "full-circle" style. I especially enjoyed the story of Anjelica -- a problem patron with outstanding fines and multiple accounts. It doesn't hit you until the end of the tale that her continual hijinks, thievery and lies actually takes place over 25 years.
Most readers will find stories of the library as an unsafe place for children shocking, but I found myself nodding my head in agreement, over and over again. Highly recommended for anybody who is considering working in a library, or even just visiting one.
