I've picked up a few books that people have recommended as pre-library school reading - have read Buckley Owen's Success at the Enquiry Desk (very clear and helpful), and have Broughton's Essential Classification and Bowman's Essential Cataloguing on the shelf waiting for me to get around to them!
eBooks

Cory Doctorow, Ebooks: durability is a feature, not a bug (YES. This.)
