The author of the popular collection Our Singular Strengths (ALA Editions, 1997) offers 100 new meditations specifically addressing issues at the heart of the library profession. Each reflective essay opens with a quote and concludes with an affirmation reminding the reader of the joys of the vocation of librarianship.
