    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Episode Three - Who have two thumbs and love talking about books? Courtnei & Steve! Join Courtnei and Steve, two very chatty librarians who can and will talk about anything and everything, especially books, as they try to stay on topic with some help from the mysterious Erin. We apologize to your eardrums for the rockin’ start to this episode. In their third episode, Steve and Courtnei are back to yap about life and books, or is it Steve and Erin, who knows (certainly not Steve). Steve talks about his sourdough hustle and how we should bring back bartering. Courtnei is still living in her sports era and is ready for the WNBA playoffs to start (although they will be done by the time you listen to this). Once they finally get down to the books Steve shares some bummers, and Courtnei finally read the last Dungeon Crawler Carl book. But the best part (or at least the funniest part) is when Steve talks about his reading experience reading one of Courtnei’s favorite books, “Funny Story” by Emily Henry, a book that’s not not about Courtnei. Tune into the podcast for all of the yapping and laughing! And check out the next episode to see what book Steve picked for Courtnei to read.
