This list was curated by Virginia Marshall, the podcast associate at Brooklyn Public Library.She writes: The overlap between podcast listeners and library lovers is pretty high, and there are some really great book podcasts produced by public libraries. But libraries are more than just books: they’re our last truly free and democratic institutions, and some pretty amazing things are happening at them. These podcast episodes feature amazing things that libraries do — collect the stories of the community, preserve podcasts from digital decay, speak truth to power, and even help people solve murders!
