Description

The episode in which you learn the name to that instrument you hear in all the TV shows but had no idea what it was.  Also, Nathan and Darby talk about Libraries of Things that lend unexpected items.

We talk about:

• Seed libraries
  • at Nanaimo North, Creativity Commons (Nanaimo),Courtenay, and Gabriola branches
• Human libraries
• Tool libraries
  • located on Gabriola Island and in Courtenay
• Musical instrument libraries
• Puzzle lending
  • shhh....  Nanaimo North has a semi-secret puzzle lending library  (and we're not sure why we're whispering!)

What would YOU want to see as a library of things? Cake pans? Keytars? Kombucha SCOBYs? Email us at MeetMeInTheStacks@virl.bc.ca and let us know. 

You can visit the Creativity Commons branch to try their Theremin too! 

Casey jumps through the sliding glass door to talk Canadian Muslim novels and authors, and hopes these books are mirrors for some of you, dear listeners!

• Hanna Khan Carries On by Uzma Jalaluddin, like the 90s movie You've Got Mail
• We Have Always Been Here by Samra Habib
  • here is her amazing photo project called Just Me and Allah
  • make sure you tell Casey if it made you cry in the one part too!
• Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali
  • YA contemporary title, but worth reading!
