I don't go to the library enough, but Johnson's paean to the institution - and the range of people, from old-school types dragged into the present to punk-haired, social media-savvy types loudly getting out the word, who are both bound up and pushing hard against tradition - is a swift boot in the rear reminder why I, and others, should do the exact opposite of ignoring them. From free speech to scatologocal tales, personal stories to larger themes, THIS BOOK IS OVERDUE! is, well, very much overdue.
