This book, which has essays, poems, and stories written by roughly forty librarians working at the beginning of the 1970’s, provides a snapshot of the political and social landscape that those were facing at that time. Though some conditions have changed since this books was written -- for example, there are more technological and copyright issues now -- I think the fundamental problems that librarians are facing today are very similar to the ones they were facing back then. Were it not for their their activism and their sense of social responsibility (this book is rife with that sentiment), those issues -- which are incredibly important but no one pays much attention to -- would have disappeared long ago.
