The Perks Of Being A Book Lover Podcast

OwlTail

This week we chat with Kelsey Madges, an Ohio middle school librarian and book lover. We talk about the highs and the lows of working in school libraries. If you’re like us, it’s been almost 40 years since you were a middle schooler and lots has changed for kids and the librarians who help them, such as the use of Chromebooks in classes and the current prevalence of book bans. But Kelsey is a book lover and supporter through and through.  In fact she admits that she enjoys almost everything she reads.  In this episode, we also cover how we feel about book quotes, why letter writing is still important, and what Carrie should have tattooed on her body.For show notes for any episode, go to our website at www.perksofbeingabooklover.com.
