REVIEWS BY REAL LIBRARIANS ON BACK COVER READS: Amanda Credaro puts words in my mouth!! Her observations on librarianship are so on-target that I quote her almost every day. Glenda Blaisdell-Buck Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenbury County When the going gets tough, the tough take a break and go read Biblia. Rowan Fairgrove Research Librarian, Richoh California Research Center If this guide had been around in 1964-1965 I would not have needed to waste a whole year getting an MLS. In truth, this book would have likely meant the demise of library education all together. Martha Jane Proctor Library Consultant, Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives A.B. Credaro is the Steve Martin of the library world. Colleen McDonald Head Librarian, International College, Beirut, Lebanon I am so thankful that the Warrior Librarian is not eye-sucking boring ... the book should be given out when one gets their degree along with the sweater-vest, book bag, and comfortable shoes. Charlotte Rowell Seymour Library, Seymour, CT The Warrior Librarian is the best thing that has happened to librarians since, well, ever. Rachel Schullo Shorewood-Troy Public Library, Shorewood IL When I read Andres Greeley and the Warrior Librarian, I find myself dreaming longingly of knowing people who think and talk like that. Peggy Northcraft Children's Librarian, Hannibal Free Public Library, Hannibal, Missouri As much as I love my job, there are THOSE days ... Biblia shows me I am not alone ... Cindy Dorfeld Bruckman Adult Services Librarian, Alachua County Library District, Gainesville, Florida

Published Reviews:

“[C]redaro provides just what the doctor ordered....Biblia's Guide to Warrior Librarianship is recommended for librarians who need a smile, a chuckle, or even a belly laugh. For those librarians who are humor-impaired (and you know who you are), please exercise caution if you open this book--it might induce a humorous reaction.”–Library Journal

“Examining the lighter side of librarianship, this book presents a combination of great cartoons, and intelligent, witty commentary....[o]ffers humorous advice, typical situations and dilemmas, and helpful examples that will be appreciated by anyone who has ever worked in a library....Extremely funny throughout....[a] work that brings a smile to your face when you are feeling like you are the only librarian in the world with problems or even when you are feeling just isolated. This is great Australian humour. Reward yourself and purchase this one for a great laugh--you deserve it and will feel better for it.”–The Australian Library Journal

“Biblia's Guide to Warrior Librarianship is unlike any book that I have come across. With sharp, witty colloquilisms and hilarious illustrations that perfectly match the content, the anecdotes clearly reflect our profession's nuances, issues, and low and high points. ...This book was a joy to read. ...This is the type of book that needs to be passed around the reference desk, with each librarian marking their favorite section for others to read. Pages should be photocopied and placed in the break room to give fellow staff members a chuckle. I keep my copy behind our circulation desk, and whenever I am in the need for a good laugh, I open the book to a random section, spend a few minutes with it, and return to my desk with a smile.”–Public Libraries

“No librarian should be without Biblia's Guide to Warrior Librarianship, a funny and original book of library humor. Exceptional.”–The Shy Librarian
