I did not gain much new information from this book. A lot of these things I have learned by doing the job.

I chose to read this book not because I'm in a managerial position but because I wasn't expecting to gain supervisory responsibilities during my first year in the profession. I'll likely refer to this book down the road. The survey/interview responses from librarians about what they liked and disliked about management styles or being managers themselves are most helpful to read.

For me, the most relevant librarian book that I've read. It gives an overview of what to look for in library schools, stereotypes and issues younger librarians have to overcome, and the future of the library's role in society. Plus, I've been worrying that I've been idealizing the librarian career, thus wanting honest opinions/critiques from librarians to get a better picture of what I'm getting myself into--I got that from this book.

Meh. Nothing new I didn't already read/know/hear.
