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.
