Hello and welcome to the 4th season of Reading With Libraries! Thank you so much for being here! We’re so glad you’re able to join our podcast book group.

This week we’re talking about books in the Own Voices category. Check out our full show notes page here, complete with links to the books we discussed, more background links, and links to the beverages we enjoyed here.

#OwnVoices is a term credited to author Corinne Duyvis, who suggested the hashtag on Twitter in 2015 to “recommend kidlit about diverse characters written by authors from that same diverse group.”

Are you joining in the fun, and supporting us on Patreon? If so: thanks so much! Official Office DogLady Grey is receiving bonus treats from you, and so appreciates it. (We’re also putting it toward our podcasting bills.)

And if not: we’d love to have you supporting at even $1/month. Lady Grey would be so happy – and the human staff members would also be thrilled to have more people joining us! Join today!
