In the Stacks

"In the Stacks is a carefully diverse selection of short stories about libraries and library workers. The nineteen authors come from seven countries, and original publication dates span most of the twentieth century. Genres include mystery, science fiction, comedy, and romance. The stories provide commentary on the cultures, both real and imagined, that support libraries. They also offer portraits of the librarians who must persuade society to support them."—Claire McGuire
