Hello, and welcome to the librarian is in the New York Public Libraries podcast about books, culture, because reading books

that's, you know, what's going on in the culture, and of course, what to read next.

I'm Frank.

And I'm Crystal.

And I'm a funny story that you just reminded me of.

Yeah.

We once posted on our Instagram, because you had just reminded me of. Yeah. We once posted on our Instagram

because you had just said we should do it,

we should open the podcast with an ASMR of a book opening.

And I thought, well, that doesn't make a lot of noise necessarily.

And then I realized the plastic covers

that the library used to cover their books to their books. I once posted something on Instagram about probably how we cover books with the plastic covers.

And just because it's sort of a process that's sort of cool.

And somebody had commented that the crinkling of the plastic covers on a book

when you open and close it was the only thing that calmed her baby down oh that's an

ASMR thing like the of the plastic or acrylic on the book covers mesmerized the baby and

stopped the baby from fussing.

So there's a little pro parenting tip. Just get a library book, crinkle it,

crinkle, open and close the covers. You can't really hear it.

I think it's because it has the like noise filter, but I have an arrow to the moon by

Emily Xar Pan.

And it's making kind of a crinkly noise.
