Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers groundbreaking insights into the portrayal of librarians in fiction, analyzing how authors have depicted them from the time of Prince Otto to the present day. The author demonstrates that far from being the stereotype of the half-asleep, bookish recluse, librarians are often central to the plot, reflecting the changing attitudes towards libraries and the profession itself. The book also examines the role of librarians as gatekeepers of culture, exploring how their decisions shape what books are available to the public. Ultimately, the book argues that despite the challenges they face, librarians remain essential figures in promoting literacy and fostering a love of reading. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
