 Have you ever wondered what the staff at NPL does all day? Well this book won’t help with your curiosity but it’s funny anyway. Gene Ambaum and Bill Barnes have created a group of librarians that work in the Mallville Public Library and have hilarious adventures on a daily basis. Dewey is the sarcastic main character, Tamara is the peace loving children's library, Colleen is the technologically ignorant reference library, Mel is the over organized library director and Buddy is the summer reading program mascot turned library page. I must warn you that this may not be funny without a background in Library’s but I suggest you give it a try.

Well, it's a comic strip collection. About a library. With really, really weird patrons. If you have an intense desire for illogic, it's a good book.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0974035335, Paperback)

What happens in the library stays in the library. But oh, what happens in the library! Dewey has a book club, and you do not talk about Book Club. Colleen has a blog, but she doesn't know everyone can read it. Someone gave vegan Tamara a membership to the ham-of-the-month-club. And Merv reserved every copy of the new Harry Potter for purposes nefarious. This fourth Unshelved collection also features dozens of full-page full-color comic-format book talks, plus a very special storytime zombie nursery rhyme.
