Libraries have existed for millennia, but today many question their necessity. In an ever more digital and connected world, do we still need places of books in our towns, colleges, or schools? If libraries aren't about books, what are they about? In Expect More, David Lankes, winner of the 2012 ABC-CLIO/Greenwood Award for the Best Book in Library Literature, walks you through what to expect out of your library.

Lankes is my hero!!!
Revisado: 11-01-18
Narrated by the author, this is an important book on community building, librarianship, librarians, libraries, and the community surrounding them. Lankes gives good, solid, sound, passionate advice, pertinent examples, and context. As Lankes himself says, this book and indeed good librarianship is not only important for librarians and libraries but for the citizens and communities they serve.

The Enneagram system is one of the most influential tools of self-discovery and personal development. When you discover your personality type using the enneagram, you may be amazed. The enneagram has proven to be extremely accurate. It reveals your strengths, weaknesses, core motivations, moods, and mannerisms. The Enneagram system of categorizing personality types has been around since ancient times.

didn't realize it would end in an infomercial

The narrator/author read his material well and I truly enjoyed the sections on the ennegram - great summary with understandable and informative examples. I had hoped to return and listen again for clarity, in the near future, after delving in more deeply into studying enneagrams.
However, in the middle there is a bizarre section where Mr. Beck goes off on folks not interested in money, including sarcastic "excuses" they may have. I thought I might be misreading (or mishearing) this part, but then in the last to sections of this short book he expounds upon the virtues of money (bemoaning those who claim it is the root of all evil), making the counterclaim that it is in fact the opposite.
As I mentioned, I really enjoyed the initial section on enneagrams (the reason why I bought this book), but these other sections make me hesitate to listen again. I was very turned off by these sections and actually became angry at being forced to listen (since I was driving) to views so contrary to my own which, more importantly, had nothing to do with enneagrams and were in fact merely an advertisement for his website. It would be one thing if it were simply a short message, but it was actually about five minutes of this.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to
Revisado: 06-02-17
Trevor Noah reads his own memoir, and the story and his performance are both amazing. Sometimes stark, sometimes touching, sometimes terrifying, sometimes absolutely hilarious, but always fascinating and informative. Noah's story is not only a personal memoir, but he uses his clear-headed insight and his position as an outsider in his own world to provide also an in-depth examination of South Africa during the last days of apartheid and beyond.
