Episode 03 Humor (books) can get you through it

Third Episode:  Times can be tough, but laughing makes things better. All of these books use humor to get you through it. Marisa talks about some of her favorite books, one about an evil genius, one historical fiction of a plucky girl who won't give up. Mary's two books are: one a graphic novel about a girl, technology and aliens, and the other is packed with humor and sports. We talk about how we miss our teens, patrons, and our libraries.  Books we talked about this week:  Marisa's books:  I Am A Genius Of Unspeakable Evil (And I Want To Be Your Class President) by Josh Lieb, Teen, Grades 7-12.
