New Shelf Care Podcast from Booklist With LibraryReads and More

I am digging out after taking 2.5 days off last wee and yesterday. But thankfully, you are still getting a new blog post because the latest episode of Shelf Care: The Podcast. See below or click here to access this episode and all previous episodes. 

But this episode in particular is a perfect listen as it is all reading suggestions featuring Booklist staff and LibraryReads Executive Director, Rebecca Vnuk. 

Happy Listening. I am going back to emails and preparing more posts for this week.

On this episode of Shelf Care: The Podcast, we’ve got lots and lots of reading suggestions. First, host Susan Maguire is joined by Rebecca Vnuk, Executive Director, LibraryReads, for a mini-Read ‘n’ Rave, a version of the hit program that Booklist and LibraryReads host at ALA Annual. (Find the whole list of books our librarian experts raved about at this year’s Read ‘n’ Rave here.) Then, Audio Editor Heather Booth talks to her daughter Julia about how libraries can help teens find good audiobooks. Finally, Susan and Sarah Hunter, Editor, Books for Youth and Graphic Novels, sat down to share a ton of great new graphic novels that you can use to celebrate the tail end of Graphic Novels in Libraries Month (and beyond).
