Let’s get serious about leisure reading, y’all.

Beach reads: What are they. What are patrons looking for. Is a blue cover required. These are the questions addressed in this episode. Host Susan Maguire talks to Andie Paloutzian from the New Orleans Public Library (LA) about great summer books for a wide variety of readers, and how to promote them. Then she talks to Booklist’s Adult Books Editor Donna Seaman about how she relaxes with a good book (she doesn’t), and something she’s recently read and enjoyed.
