The Librarian, a good book, a realistic librarian

Posted on 28Mar0528Mar05 by jessamyn

Speaking of reading, I am reading The Librarian by Larry Beinhart the guy who wrote Wag the Dog. It’s got a realistic librarian character who gets mixed up in all sorts of adventures. You can view a few chapters online if your curiosity is piqued.
