On The Same Page is a new podcast from the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library to keep you in the loop and on the same page about what’s happening at your library.
In this episode we talk to Brittany, Circulation Manager at JMRL, about our inaugural Food Drive. We also talk about some books we’ve read as well as how you can get some ideas for books to give as gifts this holiday season.
Abby and Erica talked about the following books that they have been reading.
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman (and his other books: The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass, and his newest book, the first in a new series in the same universe called The Book of Dust. They talk about how it is a similar read to the Chronicles of Narnia series by CS Lewis and the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling.
And Then You’re Dead by Cody Cassidy (like Zoom by Bob Berman – previously mentioned – and What If? by Randall Munroe – not mentioned, but excellent and similar in tone and content)
The Power by Naomi Alderman
The Animators by Kayla Rae Whitaker
