Escaping the Summer Heat in a Bookmobile is an NPR piece by W. Ralph Eubanks, Director of Publishing at the Library of Congress and celebrated author, aired August 10, 2010. I loved the reference to the librarian who brought the world of literature to a young black child in segregationist Mississippi and the power of reading to fuel the imagination of a future writer. This story is rich with motivation for any librarian looking for a subtle reminder of their relevance.
