Jackie Robinson asked this question about The Reading List:
Okay, I loved this. I really did - but I have two things that I wish to discuss about this novel. - Did it bother anyone else that Aleisha would be called a librarian with no librarian qualification? I'm a library assistant studying to become a librarian and it bothered me like crazy. - Was anyone else perplexed that they didn't give a reason or follow up why Aidan committed suicide?
Angelique Simonsen NO -to be honest I know librarian assistants who are far more experienced and better at their jobs than qualified librarians, like myself. And I think…moreNO -to be honest I know librarian assistants who are far more experienced and better at their jobs than qualified librarians, like myself. And I think that the way Aleisha becomes enamoured with the list and helps people is exactly part of a librarian's job - to create connections and community.
A library is more than the books on a shelf - which you as a student librarian should understand too. 50% of our customers are not readers but people looking for connections(less)
