Rating: 4/5
Call Numbers: The Not So Quiet Life of Librarians is a novel by the author Syntell Smith. The story is set in year 1994 in New York City. The protagonist of the story is Robin Walker. He is an intelligent, full time college student and part time library clerk. He transfers to the 58th Street Branch Library which was opened in 1969 to service the midtown Manhattan area. The library was a two story facility in the lobby of 10 floor office tower.
As Robin started at new place, due to the unfriendly colleagues and environment, things got difficult for him. The story is character driver and this book gives us sneak peek into the life of a librarian which is quite different from what we must have imagined.
Library Terminology Glossary was really helpful. This is the debut work from the author and I enjoyed reading it. So much adult drama makes this book much more interesting. Certain descriptions felt little stretched. The cover page of the book could have been more creative. Narration is smooth and I am looking forward for more books from the author.
