Aleisha is NOT a Librarian, or the one fault with the book "The Reading List"
The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams I am about half way through this and am absolutely loving everything about it EXCEPT ONE BIG THING. Aleisha is NOT A LIBRARIAN!!!!! She is someone who works in a Library. A Librarian has to have a Masters Degree in Library and Information Science.

A Librarian is trained in library computer systems, data retrieval, metadata creation, etc... They take courses in library management and budgeting. And so on.

None of what I am writing is meant to
