Marilyn Johnson's This Book is Overdue! How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All is an ode to the library profession and all librarians. Johnson dispels the myth that libraries and librarians are becoming obsolete. She tells stories of the great courage librarians display in these times of the Patriot Act and ever changing technology. Read it and then go to the library and thank whoever is on duty.
