It's the end of the year, and we're feeling festive. In this holiday special, Amber and Hannah catch up on life, revisit the absolute best (and most unhinged) moments of the year, and make some bold predictions about what 2026 has in store for Loud Librarians ... and for librarians everywhere?

There’s reflection, there’s chaos, and there are librarian opinions stronger than a shot of espresso at finals week. We talk growth, future dreams, sandwiches, and the things we’re definitely leaving behind in 2025.

Grab your cocoa and your emotional support cardigan. It’s cozy meets chaotic meets please don’t shush us.

Love. Lies. Librarians. And maybe… a murder?? In Part Two of our wild season finale, the mystery deepens under the Reading Trees as Amber and Hannah reveal who finds love, who walks into the sea, and which couple tries to co-author eternity. It’s dramatic. It’s literary. It’s deeply unserious. Will someone propose—with a checkout slip?

It’s here. It’s tropical. It’s weird. Your favorite chaotic librarians return for the most unhinged season finale yet.

In this Love Island-meets-literary-mystery fever dream, eight historical authors and librarians are stranded on a tropical island—Stacks & Caicos: the island dating show you didn’t know you needed. In Part One of our season finale, Amber and Hannah guide you through the sweaty, sun-drenched arrivals and romantic mayhem—until things take a turn. Someone might be missing. Or worse. Suspicion sets in. It’s giving clues. It’s giving chaos. It's giving true love.

As we go on, we remember all those times we spent together... In the library! Today, the Loud Librarians chat with two very special Walsh Library student workers as these two smarty pants students are about to graduate college and jet off to...library school to become librarians. Who would want to do a crazy thing like that? Get your shushing index fingers ready, because this is a total library love fest episode, you guys.

The Loud Librarians are turning the big 2-1 (sorta, kinda, spiritually), and we’re throwing ourselves a library-approved rager! Join us for a nostalgia-fueled trip down memory lane, embarrassingly iconic first-episode clips, completely arbitrary Dewey Decimal ratings, and a party game or two. Plus, we’re finally settling on an official nickname for our beloved listeners (or are we?). So grab your party hats, pretend it's your birthday too, and tune in for a chaotic, bookish bash!
