Episode 3.5: Rebecca 'n' Rave

Knowing all about good books before they come out is just one of many rabbits librarians keep in their magic hat. (Another tool: strained metaphors!) In this Very Special Bonus Episode of Shelf Care: The Podcast, we peel back the curtain on one of the ways librarians get advanced buzz on good books: The Booklist Read n Rave. We are joined by Rebecca Vnuk, Executive Director of Library Reads, who put together Booklist’s first Read n Rave lo those many years ago. She and host Susan Maguire talk about how Read n Rave started and what makes a good Read n Rave pick. Most importantly, they rave about some upcoming titles that they’re real psyched about.
