All About My Love of Libraries with Gail Carriger

My dear Gentle Reader, I recently had a super fun podcast interview all about one of my favorite things… libraries!

The Circulating Ideas podcast, interview dropped Feb 25, 2020. I giggle a lot because I am so pleased and honored to talk to a real librarian.
