Thank you for joining us on the seventh season of our Reader’s Advisory podcast! We have more genres to discuss, new books to recommend, and we’re so glad you’re here to join us. We always enjoy our book group podcast, and we hope you do, too! 

Our organization is the Central Minnesota Libraries Exchange. At CMLE, we work with all types of libraries.

This week on the show we’re learning more about Native American voices and recommending books to read all year round, but particularly around Thanksgiving. You can check out our show notes page here, for all the information we share today and links to the books we are discussion.

And our returning Guest Host is Stephanie Todd! Steph works at the St Cloud Technical and Community College library. Welcome back to the book group!

There is more to the story of Thanksgiving than you may remember from elementary school. We’ll link to several resources if you want to explore more, but for today’s episode, we’re going to honor and share books from Native American authors. Native Americans lived in North America long before the Pilgrims arrived and it’s important to recognize their voices and perspectives.
