All right. Okay. Welcome to the library. No, you have to start seriously. I don't have to do anything you tell me to do. Welcome to the Librarian is In!

I want a new accent.

I mean, you could start like that, but you have to like be like, okay, now we're starting.

Welcome to the Librarian is in.

The New York Public Library is podcast about books culture and what to read next.

I'm Gwendolyn Glazer. And that. culture and what to read next i'm gwendolen glazer and that giggling moron over there is frank i'm frank

and later we'll be joined by genevieve stowell the new manager of the new 53rd street library branch that

just opened last month big news for the library world. Big news.

I'm excited to have Genevieve on because she is the most cheerful, positive person I've ever met in

my entire life. Like I've never heard her say anything. Oh, no. You obviously don't know her very well.

I don't know her that well. You know her better. I met Genevieve, who's the manager of the 53rd Street library, who we're going to talk to today, as I just said. When she first started, she was at Epiphany on 23rd Street in the same region as Jefferson Market. And she called me, just like reaching out to seasoned managers and we met and stuff. She's really good. Yeah. Would you say she's the most upbeat?

I find her very, I don't know, maybe she's putting on a show. We'll see, we'll see her true colors today. No one is what they appear to be. Right. And everyone has a full range of emotions and colors. Frank is reading a little life and he is very depressed. I'm not depressed. He's not depressed. We'll talk about it. Okay, we'll talk about it.

I hope we can talk about it.

I hope I can talk about it.

I'll try. I'm not depressed. You're not depressed. We're going to, we'll talk about it.

Okay, we'll talk about it.

Okay, I hope we can talk about it. I hope I can talk about it.

I'll try.

Okay.

I always set the bar very low. Do you notice if you look back at podcasts, I'm always like, I don't know what I'm doing. I have no idea. And then I, you know, launch. I need to start from like, don't expect a thing for me, and then I'll be fine.

I like low expectations.

I'm big on low expectations. It's good. You can only go up.
