The Literary Excellence Syndrome

Abstract

For the first eighteen years of my library career I was a children's specialist. I was raised, educated, and trained in the literary excellence syndrome. Its motto is, “Ask not if any kid will want to read it; ask only, is it quality literature.” The last word often pronounced as lit‐ter‐a‐chure!
