Serialized Sci-Fi story "Black Box"

The Books We Loved is a podcast about revisiting old favorites with an open mind and a new perspective. Despite the title, we won’t be limiting ourselves to books-- movies, music, TV shows, and other aspects of pop culture will be up for discussion. Hosts and TPL Librarians Manda and Olivia (alongside some special guests from the Troy community!) will be asking themselves: does this book hold up? 
 
Tune in to revisit your old favorites while adding some new titles to your TBR list.
