1. Title: Our Singular Strengths: Meditations for Librarians
A collection of 144 "meditations" for librarians, each meditation consists of a quotation, You can read the book straight through or just open it up anywhere and receive ideas and inspirations.
Perhaps librarians should have two copies of this book, one to keep at their desks for the times when they need help just to get through the day and one to keep by their bedsides to dip into time and again to validate their lives and careers and make them all right with the world. Edward Swanson
