No Shushing in This Library

What irony! In the middle of a terrific cover story about a branch library, we learn that a city "public senior information officer" consults with the mayor's office and then refuses to speak with the author about the Library Department and also forbids the author from talking to any library employee. However, the "information officer" IS allowed to tell us she's an author and consults with people trying to deal with "experience fragments." Apparently, job title hypocrisy is not considered a "fragment." Who knew? The Library Department as a hotbed of closely guarded secrets? I'll never look at a branch librarian again without wondering just what she might be planning.
