E427 – Joan, The Librarian

Joan The Librarian has been on our show before to discuss bicycling in Portland, but we wanted to bring her back to talk about her day job working at a library!  How does it work?  What does a librarian do?  What are some myths?  And what book best represents your bicycle?  (We’re NOT naming it!) As always, thanks to our drink sponsor The Beer Mongers & our generous Patreon donors.
