Welcome to Book Bites! Hosted by teen services librarian Josh Sanchez, each episode will feature a guest who will talk about one of their favorite YA or teen books. We'll make recommendations for similar books, as well as movies, music--even food. New episodes are released on the first and third Tuesday of every month!
This week's episode features Sheridan, one of the folks leading the library's Vida Latina programming for Hispanic Heritage Month. We'll be talking about The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta, a novel in verse about a young man who finds Drag as a form of self-expression.
