Examining the lighter side of librarianship, this book presents a combination of outrageously funny cartoons, commentary, and wit. Globally known as Biblia, the Warrior Librarian, Amanda Credaro has teamed with cartoonist Peter Lewis and produced a book that expands on her award winning web site, Warrior Librarian Weekly, the product of many years of experience in librarianship. Equally applicable to all types of libraries, the work offers humorous advice, typical situations and dilemmas, and helpful examples that will be appreciated by anyone who has ever worked in a library. The book features four major sections: - Becoming a Librarian
- Working in the Library
- Diversions for Librarians
- The Ultimate Challenge: School Librarianship

Reviews
“Credaro provides just what the doctor ordered…. Recommended for librarians who need a smile, a chuckle, or even a belly laugh. For those librarians who are humour-impaired (and you know who you are), please exercise caution if you open this book—it might induce a humourous reaction.”—Library Journal, June 1, 2003
“Biblia’s Guide to Warrior Librarianship is unlike any book that I have come across. With sharp, witty colloquilisms and hilarious illustrations that perfectly match the content, the anecdotes clearly reflect our profession’s nuances, issues, and low and high points…. This book was a joy to read…. This is the type of book that needs to be passed around the reference desk, with each librarian marking their favourite section for others to read. Pages should be photocopied and placed in the break room to give fellow staff members a chuckle. I keep my copy behind our circulation desk, and whenever I am in the need for a good laugh, I open the book to a random section, spend a few minutes with it, and return to my desk with a smile.”—Public Libraries, November/December 2003
“No librarian should be without Biblia’s Guide to Warrior Librarianship, a funny and original book of library humour. Exceptional.”—The Shy Librarian
