Michael Guillebeau - MAD Librarian - You Gotta Fight for Your Right to Library

“Guillebeau ( Josh Whatever ) blends humor and mystery perfectly in this comic thriller set in the small city of Maddington, Ala. …Guillebeau keeps things light with frequent laugh-out-loud lines.”

“This book is truly every librarian’s dream come true. After fighting budget battles over and over again, librarian Serenity has lost her library funding. What’s a librarian gonna do?… A funny, moving story of our most precious institutions under threat.”

“The hilarious patchwork of characters who run the Maddington Public Library (aka the MAD) take the perennial matter of budget cuts into their own hands. Irreverent and boisterous, this book is for anyone who believes in the power of books and libraries.”

“Billed as Breaking Bad—The Library Edition and one would have to agree. Just think, as a book lover, how far would you go to save the library and the books that you love?”

“A great adventure in the fed-up world of librarians! Funny, exciting, and realistic.”

“Mad Librarian is for anyone who loves books, libraries, and cracking good writing. Guillebeau sheds light on our struggling library system with clever, quirky prose and a perfect balance of humor and darkness.”

“MAD Librarian lives up to the pun of its title—MAD characters, MAD Library location, and MAD humor. Guillebeau has created a character in MAD librarian Serenity, who not only pays tribute to all librarians, but is exactly the one you hope works at your community library. A fun easy read.”

“Great story! Loved the characters and the flow of the story. Librarians that know what they want and how to get it.”

“The librarians of MAD fight the good fight, say the things we are all thinking, then do the things that none of us actually do when we are wide awake.”

“…You are taken down a crazy, MAD road of murder, corruption and… The passion of books and what they can do for an individual, a town, a community.”

“…Pair angst and social dismay with a wide-ranging story that offers dashes of something for everyone and you have an original production recommended for readers unafraid of chick-lit stories laced with social observation as a pillar of the community decides enough is enough.”

“…nothing less than a powerful love story between a woman, Serenity Hammer, and the people of the city she serves as their librarian. I will never look at libraries or librarians the same way again…”

“…the collection of oddball minor characters and surprise twists deepen an already strong story. An engrossing debut. Mystery Debut of the Month.”
