Episode 1: The Hardy Boys and Libraries with Ariel Kleber (Part 1)

Libraries are truly radical places, friends.In this episode, Sleuth Studies: The Hardy Boys Podcast welcomes librarian Ariel Kleber for an energizing and inspiring discussion centering around all things libraries. Together, we'll explore what the spines of Hardy Boys books offer potential readers, talk about "books for boys," establish what it means to be a librarian, and learn about just how many factors go into making a book recommendation (spoiler alert: there are a lot). And, since Kyra and Ariel can talk about the Hardy Boys and libraries *forever,* there’s a part two of this episode featuring even more radical librarian-ism to look forward to. _____Ariel Kleber is a librarian, writer, and passionate advocate for literacy, diversity & representation, and fun in literature.
