This week Tayla is joined by two more emerging librarians, Elena and Cassidy, to continue our series highlighting up and comers in the library profession. They shared with us their journey into librarianship as well as their hopes for their future in the profession. They also discuss getting ready for Halloween with their reading and watching, Handmaid's Tale, and cute gay love graphic novels. During The Last Chapter, they talk about books they disliked that everyone else loved.
