Librarian Newsletter: February 2023 | | Hi Indiana,
Winter is the perfect time of year to settle in with a great book (or five) and escape into worlds different from our own. Here we recommend Nine of the Best Book Podcasts for Serious Readers, share resources for finding perfect read-alikes, and we test your literary knowledge with our Before They Became Famous Authors Quiz.
Thank you for reading!

We put together a list of nine fantastic book podcasts, so you can get listening.
