I love the library and the librarians!!!

It feels so good to hear people from the community talking about books. It feels even better that the ones talking about books are the librarians we’re all missing terribly during this pandemic.

P.S. F the mayor, fund our libraries.

Great fun.

It is great fun to listen to a book podcast from our neck of the woods. I enjoy hearing about the events at the library and all of the wonderful work you all do.

Look forward to Fridays!

This is my new favorite podcast. The librarians speak about a range of topics that address the Omaha community and our shared love of reading.
