It’s really hard being a librarian now. So quickly are some of the best in our profession defamed and threatened all because of the work they do providing books for youth. Amanda Jones faced just that when she spoke up for her public libraries and attempts to censor books and outright lie that libraries have pornography in their children’s collections. This memoir details the beginnings of all this including her fight against the defamation. She also gives such a sweet snapshot of her hometown in Louisiana and insight into her life growing up with a love of literature, a strong faith, and her journey to becoming a school librarian . I’m proud that we have school librarians like Amanda fighting for us all and highly recommend everyone read this book.
