Anne Lamott lauds librarians and libraries in her third collection of essays: Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith, c2007. Indeed, in these days of embattled library budgets, it is refreshing to fall upon this delightful chapter entitled “Lost and Found.” Lamott fearlessly names librarians as healers, magicians, and trailblazers and leaders who threaten libraries as “clueless, bullying, non-reading, numbskulls.” No, Lamott does not mince words and in so doing warms the hearts of readers everywhere. Being a woman of conviction, Lamott joined writers and actors in an “emergency read-in” to protest the Governor’s attempt to close three California public libraries located in “Steinbeck country.” After all, “reading and books are medicine” much needed in this sick society. Libraries house the stories we need to hear. Libraries safeguard democracy and freedom by making knowledge and information available to all. When libraries are threatened by the misguided, we the people must recognize “a great danger” is in the land and act. It’s an old story, we so enjoy rereading.
