A LITTLE TOO QUIET: THE FERNDALE LIBRARY PODCAST

March is National Reading Month! A time to cross off some of your long-held reading goals, like, say, finishing a door stopper! Today, we're talking about books with formidable page counts and how to not let them intimidate you! 

It's our ongoing miniseries, featuring voices & personalities from public libraries all across Michigan! This week, we've turned the spotlight on us--the Ferndale Library--as we interview our new Director, Drew Macaulay, who's had quite a journey, career-wise, to wind up here in library world! 

We're talking all about opera on the podcast this week! But, for those who haven't ever fully immersed themselves in this age-old art form, we'll spotlight two particular operas that could serve as potent gateway/introductions, including Don Giovanni and Carmen! We'll also talk about how you can learn more about opera at your local library, of course! 

It's the latest installment in our ongoing Library Spotlight series, aka "Cool Library People," where we bring you interviews with a variety of staff members from libraries across the state of Michigan. This week, we're chatting with librarian Storm Hawthorn from the East Lansing Public Library, currently serving as that community's Teen Services and School Liaison Librarian! alittletooquiet.podbean.com

 

 

 

Tune in to our podcast this week for an interview with local author Kelly J. Baptist. One of Baptist's recent books, 'Eb & Flow,' was selected for this year's Battle of the Books, where Ferndale Upper Elementary Fifth-Graders form teams to compete in a trivia-style tournament answering questions about the books they've read! Baptist was raised in Detroit and currently resides on the west side of the state. alittletooquiet.podbean.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This week on the podcast, come along with staff on comical (mis)adventures as they play GOBLIN ERRANDS: it's a short role-playing game as three goblins (and one "tall person") simply trying to complete seemingly mundane tasks! You'll also hear information about our bi-monthly RPG Group!
