Reading with Libraries Podcast Reading with Libraries Podcast

Thank you for joining us again on our book group and Reader’s advisory podcast! 
We are here to talk about books and share library ideas!
 
And now we are wrapping up the season! We’ve really enjoyed reading books with you, and having book group fun!  If you have missed any RWL, our archives are on the website. You can go back to cmle.org any time and listen to any of our podcast episodes. The book group is always here for you!
 
This week is pretty frustrating to discuss. We are librarians, and CMLE helps to support over three hundred different kinds of libraries across Central MN. We support the freedom to read, and the freedom to choose the books you want to read. If you have kids, you can encourage them to read the books you like and think are good. But it does not give anyone the right to tell other people they cannot read and enjoy a book. It’s so wrong to keep books away from people, just because of the irrational fears or prejudices of a few individuals.

This is a week of fun books, because the idea of starting a new TV series or a new movie is always exciting! It might be great, it might be terrible - but the possibility is real and there are so many opportunities to enjoy new things.

It’s fun to feel like you are in the know, that you see a small secret or an easter egg - and knowing the secret of a title is actually a character’s name can be a fun way to encourage us to get in there and try some new books!

We aren’t going to sing about it this week, but we are going to celebrate this week’s books with song titles! Enjoy all of the books that always sound like they are going to be fun - but sometimes go in sad, scary directions. So this is a good week to try some new books of all genres!

This is such a fun week - retelling a classic story with a modern twist! Did you read a book in high school that was maybe okay - but you want to read a better version? Do you have a favorite book from a long time ago - and reading a current version would be fun? Or, have you always wanted to try a specific book - but never got around to reading it, and maybe a current version would be more fun? This is your week!

It’s spring time! When everyone’s fancy turns to thoughts of love - of books! It’s a time of melting snow, flowers growing, green everywhere; and it’s also a time for all kinds of new books to try. This week we are looking at books that have just been published, and are ready to enjoy all sorts of new, interesting stories.
