Podcast

I listened to SIL’s podcast of Owl Babies, and I found it instructional to hear another person reading a book expressively. Whoever read it did a great job! Using Learn Out Loud, I listened to Children’s Book Radio, which in 2006 was supposed to be the only podcast devoted entirely to Children’s books. It simply suggested a children’s book title and gave information in why one should read it to children. The book was Roxaboxen, and although I’ve read it, I’ll check it out again. On the wiki, there were links that didn’t work. Finding a library-related podcast took a bit of time. I discovered Booktalks Quick and Simple from the site http://www.nancykeane.com/booktalks/. This booktalk by Nancy Keane about Elephant Run by Roland Smith. This piqued my interest, and I may read the book.

I consider podcasting a useful tool for SIL. I think patrons would like to hear booktalks and presentations by speakers. I have not created a podcast, but I have listened to them before.
