Lexivore Podcast, Episode 21 – The Midnight Library

In episode 21 of Lexivore, Renee and Megha are joined by a guest, Mary Graham, in discussing ‘The Midnight Library’, a New York Times Best Seller by Matt Haig.  It’s an exploration of the lives one could have lived, the things that shape us and the possibilities that open up or close behind us.  We discuss the book itself, including both the work as a whole and in depth look at several sections – including one section in the middle that included a polar bear (everyone’s favorite!), and the ending with a little bit about how we expected the story to go.  We had a lot of fun during that discussion!

We also briefly talk about library events and programs, including our new subscription boxes and kits like mental health, antiracism, and even baking, as well as discussing the possibility of in person programming this summer.  We also chat about what we have been doing and reading, and include a brief teaser for our next episode, where we will be discussing literary culture, including literary trips, festivals, and prizes.  We hope you will join us for that one, too!

We enjoyed making this podcast and hope you enjoy it as well!  You can listen to it Here!

Lexivore Podcast Episode 15 – Interlude for Current Events

In episode 15 of Lexivore Megha and Renee take a detour from our regular book discussions to chat about current events, how the library is continuing services during these times, how we personally are doing (and what we are doing nowadays as well).

We also have some suggestions for our listeners with books to read, mental health resources to look over, in honor of mental health month, and some ideas for projects that might help pass the time while we all are spending so much time at home.

We had a lot of fun making this podcast, it was helpful to talk some of these things through so we hope you will find it useful to hear as well – though please forgive us if the sound wavers in a few places, we were dealing with unfamiliar recording technology.

We hope you enjoy our podcast!  You can listen to it Here!
