Dear Fahrenheit 451

April 08, 2018
NON-FICTION

Some titles just say "read me," so I do. Dear Fahrenheit 451, a non-fiction book by Annie Spence, is one librarian's collection of thoughts on books from Frog and Toad Storybook Treasure (love me some Frog and Toad) to The Hobbit (never read it), The Crucible (endured it in my 9th grade literature class) to the Harlequin Romance Novel section (no judgment from me, I've read them.) Written in short letter form, it is funny, sharp, and entertaining to read her thought process on whether she will keep a copy of a certain book or send it to the book sale or discard pile. How long will this title last in my library? We have 6 copies on paper, 3 of those are large print, and one digital copy. Thankfully our SSP branch owns one of these copies, they keep everything.
