What the Director is Reading: a TSCPL Podcast

Gina Millsap with Horror Gondola

I recently sat down with Gina Millsap, our director of TSCPL. She shared some of her favorite reads of the past summer, books she’s looking forward to reading this fall, childhood favorites, vampire novels and her take on Banned Books Week. Check it out! (Editor's note: during the book talk of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, I say the main female character is from Texas, but she is in fact from Arizona. My apologies to Ms. Meyer!)

Listen Now!Gina’s books of the summer.

This is terrific. I'll be using it in a talk I give this week on Library 2.0. People LOVE to hear what librarians are reading! Also, the page is bright and appealing. My one quibble is that I repeatedly clicked fruitlessly on "LISTEN NOW" before realizing that it wasn't a link to the most current podcast.

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to make. I hear you about the Listen Now button- I would like to link the audio to it, but since we broke it into chunks, it might be just as confusing to link one section of audio and have the rest be links. Thanks for listening!

Whoo-hoo, Gina! I love the idea of a "what are you reading" podcast!! Great idea and very interesting. Christie
