商品簡介
Who are libraries for, how have they evolved, and why do they fill so many roles in our society today? A librarian for most of her adulthood, Amanda Oliver saw firsthand how libraries across a single city can differ. Librarians in one could be administering Narcan to an overdosing patron while across town a couple meets for a first date at a renovated library rooftop caf? Overdue explores the questions of how libraries are currently used and how they serve our communities. Based on firsthand experiences from six years of professional work as a public librarian in high-poverty neighborhoods of Washington, DC, as well as interviews and research, Overdue begins with Oliver's first day at an "unusual" branch: Northwest One. Using her experience at this branch allows Oliver to highlight the national problems that have existed in libraries since they were founded: racism, segregation, and class inequalities. These age-old problems have evolved into police violence, the opioid epidemic, rampant homelessness, and lack of mental health care. Can public librarians continue to play the many roles they are tasked with? Can American society sustain one of its most noble institutions?
