Deb, Denyse and Harrison talk about what it's really like to work at the library. Topics include Lizzo's crystal flute performance; some cranky but good-natured myth-busting about book donations and library professionals' imagined reading habits; books bound in human skin; and the ever-present ghost of Melvil Dewey.
