    Bibliobanter - The Internet Archive

    Technical difficulties abound! Fortunately Adam and Lexi have backups in place for just such an occasion. This month Adam and Lexi talk about one of the best resources available on the internet. The Internet Archive. A free online library that contains books, movies, music, games, and even whole entire websites that were once thought gone.   And be sure to let us know what treasures you find.  The next pod will start after the studio is back in order (and Adam can put down Wolfenstein 3D, seriously this place has everything!).
    The Internet Archive can be reached at https://archive.org/

    We are just a little over halfway through Reading Month, and we have a bunch of facts to share with you regarding libraries.  Adam and Lexi get long winded. Adam laments the passing of Akira Toriyama.  Adam was going to put something here that was mentioned in the show, but more importantly he wants to know where you all stand on the whole pineapple on pizza debate!

    Bookstore Interview - Coreander’s Children’s Bookshoppe

    Lexi and Adam are out once again interviewing bookstores about their goings on and stop in the some might say, downright magical realm of Coreander's Children's Bookshoppe. They delight in the atmosphere, the collection, and the cocoa and coffee. Adam doesn't even have any sass for the description this time!
