I am a librarian and quite enjoyed this documentary. About time a film like this was made, emphasizing the importance of libraries and the work librarians do. This wasn't really a serious attempt to analyze the image of the librarian in Hollywood films/TV. Why did they leave out Kramer's librarian love interest and Bookman the 'library cop' from that 'Seinfeld' episode? I found the efforts to save the Salinas library quite moving and it would have been a shame to see the libraries close. I also liked the bit about the convicts raising money to save the library! People tend to take libraries and librarians and the work they do for granted, watch this film and may you think again. Where would you be without a library or librarian?
