Book Review: Extreme Government Makeover: In Your Face

by Alisha Johnson, Ensley Branch Library

Extreme Government Makeover
Ken Miller

In response to the widely accepted belief that public sector jobs provide individuals with security, great opportunities for growth, and full visibility—as it relates to budget and accountability—these jobs are not without its share of problems. In the book Extreme Government Makeover by Ken Miller, he has produced a valuable introduction to the government’s work culture and, in particular, the necessity of process change.

Although the book is titled Extreme Government Makeover, this work brings all career pitfalls to life in a humorous, yet telling display while revealing strategies and secrets for making work better.

We could all use a little makeover every now and then!

The book Extreme Government Makeover is not available for checkout through the Jefferson County Library Cooperative (JCLC) system. But wait! Did you know that JCLC offers a service called Interlibrary Loan (ILL) where books (and photocopies of articles and government publications) may be borrowed from outside our system and sent to a library of your choice for pickup?

  • Interlibrary Loan is available to anyone 18 years of age or older with a current, full-use Jefferson County public library card. 
  • Requests can be made in person at any Jefferson County public library, by phone, or online. 
  • This service is free of charge. Occasionally, however, the lending library will charge a fee. The patron may preauthorize acceptance of any fees on the ILL request form and will be notified of any fees before the material is ordered.
