On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Jeanne Birdsall about her newest middle grade rom-com: THE LIBRARY OF UNRULY TREASURES.

This book is a love letter to libraries, magic, family, friendship and adventure wrapped around the love of a particular library. It’s simply delightful.

Come listen as we talk about Jeanne’s journey into children’s literature, her love of research into the real and imaginary, the respite that readers will find inside the pages of this book and the unexpected books she may or may not be working on next. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/10/06/a-love-letter-to-libraries-the-library-of-unruly-treasures-by-jeanne-birdsall/
