Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. From a celebrated librarian and public historian, a memoir about the promise of public libraries in a fractured world."This wonderful book appeals to the heart as well as to the mind, challenging the dark times we live in." Azar Nafisi, author of author of Read Dangerously and Reading Lolita in TehranWhen Dorothy Lazard became a public librarian, she returned to the building that had shaped her life from childhood. At the flagship branch ("the Main") of the Oakland Public Library, she connected with her hometown to a degree that few people experience. Helping her fellow community members and ultimately becoming the keeper of Oakland's public history archives, she witnessed the joys and dilemmas that shape one of the most diverse cities in the US. In Behind the Desk at the Main, Lazard takes readers through the day-to-day life of library work with love, wit, and candor. As the cracks in American society grow and our public institutions are strained to the breaking point, libraries remain the cherished containers of our ideals: They are places of curiosity, imagination, memory, and togetherness. Lazard reveals the pressures that library workers facefrom economic crises to book bans and political upheavalas they uphold these ideals in a fractured world. Filled with humor and urgency, Behind the Desk at the Main is a testament to the power of books and community in a time of division.
