If you have not tried a book challenge, we want to give you a gentle push in that direction. It’s a great way to stretch yourself outside your usual reading, and to find all kinds of books you never considered reading. Some you will love, some will not be winners to you – it’s an opportunity to explore!
We have links on our shownotes page to all the challenges we discuss here; and we encourage you to browse around to find others you would enjoy.

Welcome, everyone, to our final episode of Season Three of Reading With Libraries! It has been so great to read with you for these fifteen weeks – we just can’t bear for our book fun to end. So while we are on hiatus you will get a Book Bite each week. This is a quickie five-minute sharing of a book by one of our Guests. We have been producing these for a while now, so you can browse our entire archive on our website.
You can also check out our other podcast, Linking Our Libraries! Each week we will look at a new skill to use in a library, or other places. Follow us there!
As a bonus for all the time we have spent together here, next week we have a special episode on book challenges. We want to help you explore even more great books, and challenges can be good tools to make that happen.
This week we are discussing a favorite topic: Minnesota books! We will look at book set in Minnesota, and books by Minnesota authors. This is always our season finale topic, because we know there are 10,000 lakes here and at least as many good stories!
Check out our shownotes here!
Who is joining us today? We are welcoming back our traditional Minnesota book expert Kate Buechler, from the Great River Public Library system! Thanks for joining us again today!
