Gothic Weirdos with SAVE ME FROM MY SHELF

Abby and Daniel, the hosts of Save Me From My Shelf, joined us via Zoom (from England!) for another literary discussion of weirdo protagonists. This time, we've got a gothic round-up that includes John Thorpe (from Jane Austen's 'Northanger Abbey'), Count Dracula, Macbeth, and a special shoutout to Edgar Allen Poe!

Information Literacy

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...

Books...that everyone else seemed to love...

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. 

Horror Movie Trivia

Get ready for Horror Movie Trivia at 215 West (October 9 at 7:00 pm): fadl.org/trivia. Also, tune in this week for our discussion covering our favorite horror films! What's YOUR favorite scary movie? 

Rapid Ready Reference: Guess the Title of the Book

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!
