Welcome to The Bookmark, a podcast of the Wabash Carnegie Public Library, hosted by Laura Beutler and Rachel Castle. Each month, we'll let you know what's going on at the library, along with making a few book recommendations, introducing you to another member of our staff, and filling you in on services you may not even know are available at your library.
All the books recommended in this month's podcast are available digitally via the Libby app or Overdrive. If you need help getting started with ebooks, ask us at the circulation desk!
