Where The Books Are Now
A podcast about Vermont's Public Libraries. In each episode we visit with library staff from one public library in Vermont and learn about its history and some of the awesome resources for the community (Did you know many public libraries lend more than books? You can find snowshoes, telescopes, tables and chairs, fishing poles, portable scanners and laminators, cake pans, games, and more). But we don't forget about books and in every episode we'll give you a few of our book recommendations. These are not your grandma's libraries! **Update** WTBAnow is on a recording hiatus for a few months. We hope to be back recording in January of 2025. Stay tuned!
Where The Books Are Now
WTBAnow - Episode 1 - Westford Public Library
Launch day is finally here!
In Episode 1, I talk with Bree Drapa, Library Director at the Westford Public Library in Westford, VT. Bree talks about the history of the library, loaning card tables and chairs, Biblio+ the new streaming service, and many other services the library offers. Of course we also talk about books. Nancy has two historical fiction picks, one about the witchcraft hysteria in England and the other about a young woman who wants to become a surgeon - the catch is she lives in 1850s England. Bree shines a light on a young adult novel that reflects life in rural Vermont and has captured the attention of teens in her community and a novel that won't stay on the shelves and features an octopus as a main character.
