Coming Soon: Bonus Podcast Episodes of Reading With Libraries!

Last week we celebrated our 100th episode of of our library skills and training podcast, Linking Our Libraries (check it out here!)

And this week, we’re starting to drop some new bonus episodes of our book group and reader’s advisory podcast: Reading With Libraries!

We’re focusing on some of the pop culture happening around us, and suggesting related books! You can get a feel for these episodes by checking out the ones we released last winter: Bridgerton, Soul, The Mandalorian, and Nomadland.

Starting tomorrow, we’ll drop four NEW episodes in our Reading With Libraries feed (if you’re subscribed to the podcast, you’ll get them automatically!) Otherwise, you can always listen to them right from our website!

We had so much fun finding books to go along with some of the summer’s upcoming movies and other entertainment! We hope you enjoy these episodes and get inspired to recommend books to your library community!

Episode 415: Minnesota ⛄

Welcome, everyone, to our final episode of Season Four of Reading With Libraries! This snowy Thursday is the perfect day to discuss books by Minnesota authors. ❄😊❄

Check out our full show notes page here. We have books, resources, and beverages waiting there for you.

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.

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!

Who is joining us today? We are welcoming a new Guest Host to be our Minnesota book expert: Wendy Sykes, from the Great River Public Library system!

This is our last episode of the season, but never fear: Tuesday we will start dropping quickie book podcast into this spot on a weekly basis!
