Beyond the Shelves: Library Lovers Month

Jes and Sarah are talking about loving your library during this month's episode of Beyond the Shelves! After talking about unique library services and the best ways you can support your library, they talk about some of their favorite books that feature libraries. Then they dig into a busy Book Bulletin segment (starts at 42:51), full of interesting news. Next month, Jes and Sarah are hosting their first ever Beyond the Shelves Book Club episode! They're reading Harlem Rhapsody by Victoria Christopher Murray. That episode is scheduled to be up on Tuesday, March 11. We encourage you to read the book so you can follow along with their discussion next month!   Show Notes Show Up for Your Library - ALA Advocacy One of the best ways to support the library is using your library!   What We're Reading The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, by Becky Chambers Y2K: How the 2000s Became Everything, by Colette Shade House of Earth and Blood, by Sarah J.
