    Ep. 141: Books We Hate and Aliens

    This month we decided to do a different type of Readers Advisory. Instead of recommending a bunch of books we loved, Annemarie, Tessa, Christina, Liz, and I talk about books we hate. We're interested in your thoughts on this. Do you agree with our assessment? July 2nd is World UFO Day! Do aliens exist? What do you think? Join Annemarie, Tessa, Les, Liz, Ollie, and me as we talk about our thoughts on aliens. Maybe one of us has a personal experience? We talk shows, podcasts, and other media and question if Octopuses are aliens. We would LOVE to hear your opinions on this! You can email us at bcplcreate@mybcpl.org to share your thoughts.

    April is full of fun things: April Fool's Day, National Poetry Month, National Library Week, National Gardening Month, and our annual Library After Dark fundraiser.

Some staff (Rachel A. and Tessa) talk about the history of April Fool's Day and some of their favorite pranks, while others (Lindsey, Annemarie, Dakota, and Liz) discuss some of their favorite poetry. We're also joined by Kimberly of the Friends of the Library to talk more about what their organization does for the library and to get details about their annual even Library After Dark.  Here are the links and information to some of the things referenced in the podcast.
