Thank you for joining us on Reading With Libraries! We are so glad you are here to join our book group podcast!

It’s hard to be an expert on ALL of the great books out there! So we pick a new genre each week to chat about and hopefully provide you with some insight into what may be a new genre to you.

You can find our full show notes page here.

This week we’re going to be discussing Middle Grade books. We’ve mentioned Middle Grade titles on our other podcasts, and if you’re interested in children’s literature, you should definitely listen to our episodes on Picture Books and YA!

We’re happy to welcome our CMLE Podcast Correspondent Ariel Kirst from the St. Cloud Public Library!

We have beverages connected to our genre of Middle Graders, with links to the recipes. It’s a book group, so you want to have a good beverage!

The growth of this genre really shows how much attention we are now giving to this age range, and it is really interesting to see the range of books available to them!
