The Dismissal of Ruth Brown
The Dismissal of Ruth Brown by Louise S. Robbins
A must-read for anyone who wants to go into public library work. I read it for my Intellectual Freedom for Youth class in library school and was fascinated and horrified by it. I learned a lot about the social climate of the 1950s and a lot about how a corporation can influence the town.
This should be required reading for any librarian, especially those interested in working a public library. A great read for anyone interested in intellectual freedom.
Read for Intellectual Freedom for Youth class.
