Thank you for joining us on the eighth season of our book group and Reader’s advisory podcast! 

Our organization is the Central Minnesota Libraries Exchange, and we work with all types of libraries. Schools, public, academic, history centers, and more! We are here to support you and to bring you new knowledge to inform your library work. 

This season we continue to explore a wide variety of book genres and topics so you can expand your reading horizons and share more information with your library community. And we’re adding an additional element this season: many of our topics are coming from the 2022 Pop Sugar Reading Challenge. We link to their challenge on our shownotes page. 

Pop Sugar says the goal of the challenge is to “is just to have fun, diversify your reading, and accomplish whatever goals you have set for yourself. There are no “rules”!” So we’re incorporating some of their prompts into this season’s podcast topics. If you are participating in their challenge – great! And if you just want to get some fresh book ideas to share with your patrons/students/community, fantastic! You are in the right place! 

This week we are looking at books about a band or music group. You can find the links to everything we discuss here – the books, the drinks, the suggested resources – on our show notes page.
