Thank you for sharing this wonderful interview with Mr. Giridhar Kunkur.
All of us librarians have a wealth of riches to mine from Mr. Kunkur's
sharing. It is not only the rich experiences he has had but the humility
and openness of his learning from every incident and from every person, be
it user, staff or management and from visiting other libraries.
I found it really respectful on his part to enable his staff to have
experiences from other libraries. How much we can learn from
this insightful glimpse of a superb librarian!
With respectful wishes for continued energy and passion to Mr. Kunkur,
Usha Mukunda
