Straightforward, helpful, and realistic with a sprinkling of humor. The author has clearly and demonstrably worked with homeless individuals and knows what he’s talking about. I’m not a librarian yet but I’m starting my masters in library science in order to be one, and this book made me feel more confident in my decision by affirming my desire to help people (particularly unhoused people) and by giving me tools to actually be able to do so.
