On this episode of Shelf Care: The Podcast, host Susan Maguire sits down with librarian Nanette Donohue to talk about all aspects of collecting craft books. Then, Audio Editor Heather Booth chats with librarian Emily Borsa about the appeal of the celebrity memoir, whether read by the author or not. Finally, Editor, Books for Youth and Graphic Novels Sarah Hunter joins Susan to shout about a few books she’s been reading and loving lately. (She doesn’t really shout.)
