How'd you like Anna-Preen Gables when the scary is heck?

Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogle, and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 138.

Welcome to the show that's dedicated to answering the question that plagues every reader.

What should I read next?

We don't get bossy on this show.

What we will do here is give you the information you need to choose your next read.

Every week we'll talk all things books and reading, and do a little literary matchmaking with one guest.

Today I'm having a bookish heart to heart with Gwen Glazer and Frank Calerius

about serving the public by way of literacy.

Gwen and Frank work in unique roles at the New York Public Library System,

and together host the wonderful podcast The Librarian is in.

Readers, I learned a lot about what it's been like to see the role of librarians shift over the past decade,

how each library adapts to meet their patrons' needs,

how you can give back to your library in valuable ways,

and how all of you are going to want Gwen's job.

Gwen and Frank are a joy to talk to, and I think you'll enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Let's get to it.

Gwen and Frank, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much for having us.

Hi.

Now is especially a great time to be talking about libraries with summer reading and new releases,

kids around a school if that's you.
