My Library
In honor of National Library Week, we’re celebrating the sanctuaries of story and the quiet power of the printed word.
Step inside the stacks with this special "My Library" edition of the Writers Read podcast. Moving beyond the spine and into the heart, we bring you raw, lyrical, true five-minute stories from a lineup of talented writers who explore what it means to be shaped by books, librarians, and the spaces that house them.
National Library Week is a time to celebrate our nation's libraries, library workers' contributions and promote library use and support. Since 1958, National Library Week's been sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and observed in libraries across the country each April. All types of libraries - school, public, academic and special - participate, and you can learn more at the American Library Association website, ALA.org
Writers Read is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the art of the personal narrative. We bring voices to the stage and the page, celebrating the power of true stories, read by the people who wrote them.
This episode of the podcast was produced and hosted by Edward McCann, with engineering and mixing from Brent Reilly.
