Love Your Library introduction

Love Your Library introduction

This episode is an introduction to our new Hampshire Libraries podcast series: Love Your Library. Each podcast features brilliant authors talking about their wonderful books. But better than that, it’s got recommendations and reviews from the team here at Hampshire Libraries.  And there’s few people who know and love books more than our library staff in Hampshire.

Coming up over the next few months, we’ve got interviews with Ann Cleeves, Joanna Trollope, Charlie Higson, Minette Walters, Patrick Gale, Cara Hunter, Hanna Jameson, Mel McGrath and Claire Fuller.

Wherever you listen to podcasts – whether it’s on your commute, walking the dog, cleaning the house, we’ll bring the library to you.  After all, you don’t always have time to come into the library and see us, though you’ll always get a warm welcome.

Thanks to https://paulsutton.co/ for his invaluable help and support, and thanks to Doc Jon for our podcast music.
