Sshhhh! Do you hear that? For their tenth episode, Jeeves &amp; Wooster are breaking their silence on the subject of whether libraries should be quiet. With the help of a community survey, your hosts find out what librarians really think about this long standing stereotype of libraries as silent shrines to studious studies. Stories and opinions from the anonymous librarians are read and discussed in detail. If you're not actively involved in the world of libraries, some of the responses discuss might just surprise you.
Quote:
"Libraries are not just for reading in, but for sociable thinking, exploring, exchanging ideas and falling in love. They were never silent. Technology will not change that, for even in the starchiest heyday of Victorian self-improvement, libraries were intended to be meeting places of the mind, recreational as well as educational."
-British author and historian Ben McIntyre.

Episode 10.5, "Summer Readin’, Having a Blast!"

Your hosts, Jeeves and Wooster, are opening the door to what really goes on behind the scenes at your local library. This podcast creates a safe space for librarians to share their bizarre, crazy, and unbelievable tales of librarianship while maintaining privacy for themselves and their patrons.
