Episode 212: Fairy Tales and Myths

Welcome, everyone, to Reading with Libraries! This week we are discussing Fairy Tales and Mythology.

There are no “right” or “wrong” books to read and chat about for our book group ? we are just here to explore all kinds of books. All of us will take away at least a title or two that we want to read at the end of our time together!

Who is joining our reading group this week? This week we welcome returning Guest Host Ariel, from Great River Library System

This week we are discussing Picture Books! We are excited to welcome returning Guest Host Kelly Groth!

Picture Books are
children’s books that provide a “visual experience” – telling a story with pictures.  There may or may not be text with the book.  The content of the book, however, can be fully explained or illustrated with pictures.  Note that picture books do not even need to tell stories – they might illustrate letters of the alphabet or numbers.  A picture book may even tell a story entirely with illustrations.  Many times, these books are published in a small size, something that children can actually hold in their small hands – these books are called hand-books. There are fun books for young, non-reading children to play with.  Often, they can tell the story based on the illustrations, pretending to “read” the book.

 

 

Coming Next Week: Reading With Libraries Podcast!!

We are Reading With Libraries!

We want you to join us!

Of course you know our podcast, Books and Beverages. We read books, we drink beverages, we have fun talking with guests. It’s a podcast book group experience!!

And it’s coming back THURSDAY MAY 17!!!! Our first episode will look at the Picture Book genre, and I promise our Guest Host knows much more about it than anyone here – it was SO FUN to record!

What would be even MORE fun???

Changing the name!!

Having different genres!! Different books!! Different guests!! Different beverages!! Longer time!!

So yeah – we did that!

Reading With Libraries has the same format and fun, and now will be easier to find in your app and easier to stream on our site. We will be talking about books, we will be sipping beverages, and neat people will be coming by to talk about books. And now we will chat for 30 minutes at a time, instead of just 20! (There was So Much To Say!!)

You can listen to our prior episodes on our host site all here; and you can find our schedule for Season Two right here!!

What else is new???

We want to build a community of readers, to make the book group more of a reality for us all! And, we could use some help from you in making that happen.

Join us on Patreon!

You can join the group and support the show at different monthly levels, starting at $1 per month, or $5 per month, or $10 per month, and so on. We have different kinds of rewards available for each level , so you can choose the level that works for you. At $1 a month, you get our mushy, sincere thanks, as well as a postcard from us signed by Mary, Angie, and Official Office Dog Lady Grey, and access to Discord. The rewards build from there.

One thing we really want to to build community; and Patreon will give us a handy tool for that: Discord! You may know Discord from gaming, or if you support other Patreon accounts. Basically it’s a chat page, where we can set up all kinds of “rooms” for all of us to chat about different topics. So when you join, if you want a room for discussing your super-favorite book topic – we will (almost certainly) create it for you. (We reserve the right to keep some discretion. We have a community to build here, and we want it to be a positive one!)

If you don’t know Patreon or Discord; No worries!! Click on the page and browse around! We would love to have you join us (and we could really use your help – these fancy microphones do not buy themselves!).

You will be able to listen to our podcast whether or not it works for you to join the community and help support us. We want to share it with you! If you like books, we want to share books with you. And if you want to join in the community, and help to support the show – great! Go to Patreon today, and let’s get started.
