  Who are libraries for, how have they evolved, and why do they fill so many roles in our society today? 
   
   
   
  Based on firsthand experiences from six years of professional work as a librarian in high-poverty neighborhoods of Washington, DC, as well as interviews and research, Overdue begins with Oliver's first day at an "unusual" branch: Northwest One. 
   
   
   
  Using her experience at this branch allows Oliver to highlight the national problems that have existed in libraries since they were founded: racism, segregation, and class inequalities. These age-old problems have evolved into police violence, the opioid epidemic, rampant houselessness, and lack of mental health care nationwide—all of which come to a head in public library spaces. 
   
   
    
  Can public librarians continue to play the many roles they are tasked with? Can American society sustain one of its most noble institutions? 
   
   
   
  Pushing against hundreds of years of stereotypes, romanticization, and discomfort with a call to reckoning, Overdue will change the way you think about libraries forever.

  "Coming of Age in Samoa: A Psychological Study of Primitive Youth for Western Civilization" by Margaret Mead is a pioneering work in cultural anthropology that examines the adolescence and cultural practices of Samoan youth. Originally published in 1928, Mead's study challenges Western assumptions about the universality of adolescent experiences and sheds light on the influence of cultural factors on human behavior.
   In this groundbreaking work, Mead explores Samoan society's impact on the emotional and psychological development of its youth, focusing on the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Mead's findings suggest that cultural factors, such as societal norms and expectations, significantly shape individuals' behaviors and attitudes during this crucial life stage.
   The book sparked significant debate and discussion, as Mead's conclusions contradicted prevailing notions of the time regarding the fixed and biologically determined nature of human development. Her work influenced the field of anthropology and contributed to a broader understanding of cultural relativism.
   "Coming of Age in Samoa" remains a seminal work that invites readers to reconsider their perspectives on cultural diversity and the ways in which societal expectations shape human experiences, particularly during the formative years of adolescence.

  For 150 years as a British colony, Hong Kong was a beacon of prosperity where people, money, and technology flowed freely, and residents enjoyed many civil liberties. In preparation for handing the territory over to China in 1997, Deng Xiaoping promised that it would remain highly autonomous for fifty years. An international treaty established a Special Administrative Region (SAR) with a far freer political system than that of Communist China. 
   
   
   
  But as the halfway mark of the SAR's lifespan approaches in 2022, it is clear that China has not kept its word. Universal suffrage and free elections have not been instituted, harassment and brutality have become normalized, and activists are being jailed en masse. This tragic backslide has dire worldwide implications. 
   
   
   
  Today Hong Kong, Tomorrow the World tells the complete story of how a city once famed for protests so peaceful that toddlers joined grandparents became a place where police have fired tear gas, rubber bullets and even live ammunition at their neighbors, while pro-government hooligans attack demonstrators. A Hong Kong resident from 1992 to 2021, author Mark L. Clifford has witnessed this transformation firsthand. A powerful and dramatic mix of history and on-the-ground reporting, this book is the definitive account of one of the most important geopolitical standoffs of our time.
