New York Strip Clubs: The New York Times Reviews Marilyn Johnson’s Book About Libraries and Librarians
It’s hard to think of another book of late about libraries, the importance of librarians, and related topics that have received as much attention as Marilyn Johnson’s, “This Book is Overdue. How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All.” We’ve posted comments/reviews from NPR, USA Today, Salon.com, and an interview from the Newark Star-Ledger.
In “This Book Is Overdue: How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All,” she offers a lively parade of people and places, all related to library science, or sort of related. Johnson ushers us into the American Kennel Club Library and introduces us to the inevitable graying librarian in a boiled-wool jacket with a Scotty pin. She also teleports over to a Las Vegas “gentlemen’s club” called the Library, where ladies wearing spectacles (and not much more) slide their way down stripper poles.
