Listen to the Latest Episode: 

This episode of Shelf Care: The Podcast is all about Summer Scares. First, host Susan Maguire talks to Summer Scares committee member Konrad Stump and librarian Rebecca Leannah (from the Racine, Wisconsin Public Library) about what kinds of programming they do around Summer Scares, what to tell patrons who think horror is not for them, the Wisconsin version of Tiger King. Then, Susan gets the skinny on the selections for this years’ readers, first from author spokesperson Daniel Kraus and Summer Scares committee member Becky Spratford, then from Booklist’s own Julia Smith. Spooky! And fun.
