  • Episode 315 Minnesota
    Welcome, everyone, to our final episode of Season Three of Reading With Libraries! It has been so great to read with you for these fifteen weeks – we just can't bear for our book fun to end.

We have been producing these for a while now, so you can browse our entire archive on our website. You can also check out our other podcast, Linking Our Libraries!

As a bonus for all the time we have spent together here, next week we have a special episode on book challenges. We want to help you explore even more great books, and challenges can be good tools to make that happen. This week we are discussing a favorite topic: Minnesota books! We will look at book set in Minnesota, and books by Minnesota authors. This is always our season finale topic, because we know there are 10,000 lakes here and at least as many good stories! Check out our shownotes here! Who is joining us today? We are welcoming back our traditional Minnesota book expert Kate Buechler, from the Great River Public Library system!

About Reading with Libraries Podcast

From the publisher's feed

We are a book group podcast, looking at a new genre each week. We enjoy a beverage that matches the theme of the episode, we talk about some books we like with our Guest Hosts, and we share resources for finding more books. We work in a library system, and many of our guests work in libraries - so we have a lot of fun books to share!
