“I have been a library devotee since I was a child. When I got older and was on my own, I moved around a lot for work and getting a new library card was always the next step after getting a new address in my new town!”
I use the Milwaukee Public Library almost every day. Searching for my next audiobook is almost as fun as marking the previous book complete!
I discovered the History Buff Book Club during the pandemic because they were discussing Furious Hours and the author Casey Cep was a special guest. It was a book I loved and was excited to hear from the author. I really had no intention of joining another book club – but here we are, a year and 13 books later and I’m still with it!
