Episode description

Pandemics? Concern over books transmitting diseases? Quarantine? Sanitizing processes? If this all sounds familiar, you're right - we ARE indeed talking about the great book scare of 1880-1920!! Alternate titles to this episode include "I said what I said," "Please don't lick things," and "Andrew Carnegie, the patron saint of libraries." Join us for a wild ride about books and pestilence! As always, check out our website for everything we chatted about during this episode: https://www.columbusjct.lib.ia.us/programs/beyond-bookshelf-podcast
