Happy New Year! In this episode we hear from Abby and Erica about their reading resolutions for 2018, as well as from a few staff members from around the system. After that we talk to recently retired Library Director John Halliday and newly christened Library Director David Plunkett.
Erica plans to read (yes, we know this is an extreme amount) 200 books in the calendar year, and tackle the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. [Ugh, sorry Rick, we mangled your name. It’s actually RY-er-don as pronounced by the author himself here.]
Abby would like to read 175 books in 2018, more works by Octavia Butler, and five romance/historical fiction/westerns, and read more books set outside the US.
They will be keeping track of their progress using Goodreads.

Megan read Crooked Kingdom (a Six of Crows novel) by Leigh Bardugo. She plans to read more middle grade books in 2018.
