Hi, everybody.

Welcome to The Librarian is in.

The New York Public Library's podcast about books, culture, and what to read next.

I'm Frank.

And I'm Joan Crawford.

We have to talk about Feud.

I'm glad Joan Crawford is here.

Thanks so much for coming. Did you watch Feud? I didn't. It just feud. I'm glad Joan Crawford is here. Thanks so much for coming.

Did you watch feud?

I didn't. I'm going to. Are they going to do... Okay, wait, hold on. We're not done with you. All right, sorry, let's go. Finish the intro. Okay. Today, Frank and I are just going to talk to you. I'm actually Gwen, by the way. I'm not Frank or Joan Crawford.

And next week, we are going to have an interview with Corey from Storytime Underground,

which is a really cool organization that helps children and librarians be activists and do better

story times and sort of live their lives better out in the storytime trenches.

I hope everyone's liking the weekly formats.

Yes, we got some really nice feedback.

Thank you, everybody who fed back.

I have to respond to some comments because someone exhorted me to give Harry Potter another chance.

Yes.

Well, Bionna and Robin from last week are going to come back and have monthly check-ins with you to see how much progress you've made. I don't need any more pressure. I think it's almost time for us to do another challenge episode. Somebody mentioned that in one of the podcasts. They liked that we did that. We suggested books that we didn't think of the other one of life. And we're going to do it seven times, and I'm just going to challenge you to read Harry Potter books each time.

Oh, yeah, that's true.

I could do a summer challenge.

It's our official summer challenge.
