Delightful - but one fundamental flaw
3. Dezember 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As a long-time library user, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it for the sheer enjoyment. The text flows smoothly with lovely images that will make it a delight to read out loud. I love the illustrations, too - Santa's hat cracked me up.
I also want to purchase multiple copies to send to my library's leadership as there are several zingers in there about the effect of the lessening financial support for libraries.
As a librarian, though, I see that this book reflects a major problem of librarianship today - it does not recognize that a library is much more than a warehouse for books. (For that reason, I've knocked one star off the rating.)
THE FUNDAMENTAL PURPOSE OF A LIBRARY IS TO PROVIDE A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES. By whatever means legally possible. Print, non-print, electronic, programs, outreach, whatever.
Our young people in particular do not limit themselves to learning from books. They learn from everything around them, using whatever method they can find. Yes, this includes websites and Wikipedia, but it also includes looking for experts (people) in blogs, discussing issues in chat rooms, creating and sharing videos with friends, and learning life skills from gaming. (Failed and died? Pick up and start again. Can't do it alone? Put together a team and lead them to success.)
They take this attitude of curiosity to every aspect of their lives, seeking better, faster ways to find quality information. (Need to get an answer to a question? Text message your local librarian.)
Libraries can and do provide access to all of these methods and more. The problem of the lack of funding that is illustrated so clearly in the book is important, but it should have been related to the effect on all library services instead of harkening back to the library of our youth. We are that library - but we are also much, much more.
Thank you for a delightful book, Mr. Davis, but go explore your local library a little deeper.

Timely parody
24. Dezember 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I read a review on another bookseller Web site that was critical because this book is not really geared to children. True, and if your intent is to acquire a children's book, keep on searching. I am a librarian who works for a labor union that represents many public librarians and in this year of budget cutting and layoffs, this book rings loud, true, and clear. And, yes, it IS political but those who labor in the trenches of our nation's public libraries will totally relate to it.

Every library needs a Santa!
3. November 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
A friend of mine gave me the Librarian's Night Before Christmas as a birthday gift and I found myself living every moment of the story. What librarian wouldn't want Santa and his elves to bestow much needed gifts upon the library?!
As a librarian, I totally could relate to this story. It is well written and even though it is entertaining, it isn't "too" cutesy. This book reads easy and is packed full of wonderful illustrations that captivates my 8 year old every time we read the story together.
