|summary=The closure of public libraries is a hugely important issue at the moment, though it often seems to be swept under the carpet with politicians trying to hush any militant librarians. This book is a wonderful defence of everything that is good and vital about the public library service, and makes an interesting and enjoyable read.

I had better begin by saying that I had a vested interest in liking this book since I am a chartered librarian myself and so am wholeheartedly in support of saving our nation's public libraries. But you don't need to be a librarian to enjoy this book. It is rich with anecdotes from some wonderful writers and makes a pleasant read whether you're keen to save libraries or not.
