概要

 A Readers' Advisory Podcast about becoming better library staff by reading every genre, whether we like them or not! Every month we read books from a new, randomly picked genre; then on the podcast we discuss our reading choices, experiences, opinions, appeal factors, and other related topics as friends and library workers.Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) アート 文学史・文学批評
