Summary:
Not long ago, the public library was a place for the bookish, the eggheaded, and the studious, often seeking refuge from a loud, irrational, and crude outside world. Today, libraries have become free-for-all entertainment complexes. What happened? Don Borchert offers readers a ringside seat to the unlikely spectacle of mayhem and absurdity that is business as usual at the public library.
