Welcome to the first episode of Beyond the Shush - a podcast that loves all things libraries.

In this episode we discover:

Something Old: Which are the world's earliest libraries?

Something New: We look at the RFID technology behind hold pickup lockers. 

Something to Borrow: Our guest librarian Nic talks about the 'Fantasy Lite' genre and her book recommendation, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E Schwab

Something to Do: Baby Rhyme Time raises the roof at many libraries. We talk about what it is and why it is so great for the community.
