That’s right follks, it’s the first Friday of the month, so the new episode of Top Shelf Librarians is live! Find it wherever you listen to podcasts (spotify, apple, etc.,) or here on this very site. What are you in for in this episode? Well… We think we can all agree that February is just a weird month, right? Right.

Turns out, scheduling a time for four adult humans to get together for a couple hours is almost impossible. Even only once a month! We’re sorry this episode is so late, but I can promise that you won’t have to wait nearly so long for the next two! Hurray! So, if you’d like to listen to adult library workers talk about booze and books, why not give Top Shelf Librarians a listen? You won’t be sorry… Okay, you *might* be sorry, but you’ll also laugh a lot, so it’s not all bad!
