- Great even if this isn’t your library!
I was just looking for a book club talking about a book I finished and enjoyed and no one I know had read it. I stumbled upon The Book Drop and found a very insightful discussion of the book. Definitely check it out.

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.

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.
