Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret with Jess Harshbarger

Welcome back, Libration Nation! Today, we're diving into the timeless world of Judy Blume's "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." Joining me is the my fellow librarian Jess Harshbarger, as we explore the impact of this iconic coming-of-age story. From touching on friendship, puberty, and identity, to discussing its still-relevant themes 50 years after publication, we’ve got it all covered. Pour yourself a “Blue GigiRita” and enjoy the conversation! 🎧📚🍹Jess is a library branch manager and has worked in public libraries for the last 18 years.  She is a Virginia native but has also spent time in Arizona, North Carolina and Ohio. She is married with two children and three dogs. Her favorite pastime is listening to live music and dreams of competing on a music trivia show one day. In the last five years she has embraced her inner artist. Her style fits best in abstract realism and she mostly uses acrylic medium. She posts under Whimsical Wallflower on Facebook and Whimsical Wallflower Art on instagram, although with her ADHD she admittedly has a hard time keeping up with posts. Blue GigiRita1 oz Grand Marnier1 oz Blue Curaçao 2 oz Tequila1 oz Simple Syrup or Agave.5 oz Lime JuiceAdd salt if you want!In this EpisodeBooks by Judy BlumeJudy Blume DocumentaryALA’s Banned Books
