I am thrilled at this lovely review of “This Is a Library Book” by Publishers Weekly, which gives an excellent overview of the book’s contents.

A wee disclosure is necessary here: I am a reviewer at Publishers Weekly. However, I wasn’t told about this review or even that there would be a review. And I don’t know the reviewer and they don’t know me (in fact, PW reviewers aren’t named so I don’t even know who it is). I might know our mutual editor, but I’m honestly not sure. In any case, PW reviewers recuse themselves when there’s a conflict of interest, such as being a friend of the author. End of disclosure, lol–but isn’t it helpful to know all this? I think so, hence the rather lengthy share. Anyhoo…

The thoughtful review highlights Chanelle Nibbelink’s “Rainbow-hued, infographic-style digital renderings, which … enliven the factual text, while captions (plus a built-in board game) encourage reflection and interaction.”

“The extraordinary range of cases persuasively highlights all that makes libraries invaluable.” -PW Review
