Library Journal Review

A follow-up to Gorman's first collection of meditations, Our Singular Strengths, this book has ten chapters--"Reading and Books," "Places," "People," "Values," "Library Services," "Then and Now," "Technology," "Practicalities," "The Eightfold Path," and "This and That." Within each broad topic is a series of two-page essays that begin with a literary quote and end with a moral/axiom, or what the author calls "a resolution." In succinct, readable prose, Gorman addresses issues affecting the library profession, including, yes, bloggers. Whether or not you are a fan of the newly inducted American Library Association president, this second collection is more than worth the effort and should be required reading for all "librarians." May he continue "meditating!"--B. Susan Brown, Pamunkey Regional Lib., VA (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
