从“小巧自由图书馆”（座右铭：拿一本书，还一本书）的兴起开始，到后来的奢华酒店式图书馆，亚历克斯·强生的父母用七个不同主题的章节描绘21世纪图书馆革命历史和前景。不管是骑着自行车在芝加哥街头还是骑着驴在哥伦比亚晃荡，你都能找到打动内心的图书馆，在其中都能寻到自己想要的书。
有的图书馆是作为向导的身份存在，让初来乍到的游客了解身处的城市；而有的则是以中间人的形式存在，让志同道合的人在此汇集，彼此相识；再者可能是以授传者的姿态，向读者传播知识……
Alex Johnson is a journalist at the UK's Independent newspaper and editorial consultant for several charities. He lives with his wife and three children in St Albans, UK. Both of his parents are librarians.
