Synopsis
An unflattering portrait of paraprofessional library workers lives giving voice to the frontline employees who are paid lower with less opportunity for advancement than their Master degreed counterparts. Rodgers, one of the workers lost in the stacks, examines the history of the paraprofessional in librarianship, exploring the most common problems faced by support staff (perhaps universally), including sexism, burnout, management, and low pay with no benefits. Includes appendices of two interviews with library workers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
