Today, we're returning to a tried-and-true topic for us, Information Literacy! The American Library Association would describe Information Literacy as a set of abilities requiring individuals to “recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information... We first hosted a series of panel discussions on this topic back in 2018, then revisited it in 2020. Now, with A.I. on the rise.... (remember deep fakes?) we're revisiting it as part of our ongoing series on just what it is we do all day...

This week on the podcast, we're sharing potentially unpopular opinions! We're talking about books that everyone else seemed to love, but that we....weren't very impressed with... 💔📚 Fair warning, we brought a "buzzer" to the table for anyone who wanted to dispute the titles that were being criticized. But, it should be noted that no matter what books you love or what books you're interested in reading, your local librarian will always be more than happy to find them, 100% free of any judgment.

We have another game-show styled episode where our librarians "guess the title of the book" based on designedly vague descriptions. Librarians, on a daily basis, perform this feat, where a patron might ONLY recall very scant details about a book, and 99.99% of the time, we always help them find what they're looking for! Find "A Little Too Quit" wherever you get your podcasts. https://alittletooquiet.podbean.com

Donald Levin’s ‘Arsenal of Deceit’ is a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the intricate web of deception that shapes the world of politics and racism.

A seamless blend of history, geopolitics, and espionage, the book unveils a complex landscape of covert operations and disinformation campaigns, offering readers a captivating journey into the realm of global intrigue. ‘Arsenal of Deceit’ is an eye-opening look at 1940s Detroit and a timely work that challenges our perceptions of power, trust and relationships.
