Reading with Libraries Podcast

Hi everyone! Welcome back to your book group podcast, Reading With Libraries! We are here to talk about books, to enjoy some beverages, and to have this time together. Thanks for joining us! It's hard to be an expert on ALL of the great books out there! So we pick a new genre each week to chat about and hopefully provide you with some insight into what may be an unfamiliar area for you! We are the Central Minnesota Libraries Exchange, and we are here to support all of our 300 member libraries. They all like books, we like to share books with our patrons, and we know you like books too. So let's jump in here and discuss some books in today's genre! Your ears do not deceive you. We have indeed discussed this topic; it's a pretty big topic of discussion around the world right now. You can listen to Episode 512 from last season for some other ideas. As in that episode, the books we discuss will be so much scarier than our current reality that it will probably make you feel better just to listen to them. You can read our full show notes page here, with links to resources, to the beverages we are enjoying, and the books we share! And our returning Guest Host is Kelly from St. John's and St Ben's College libraries!

A beach read is anything that is fun, anything that you are enjoying, anything that you would throw into a bag to take to the beach with you. It might be something that comes out in the summer, or just something that makes you think about summer. It can be goofy fiction, it can be scary horror, it can be a book analyzing the mitochondria of algae. It only matters that it is something that you want to read, and something you have been looking forward to reading.
