This week Tayla is joined by two more new career librarians, Kim and Jo, 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 graphic medicine, comfort media, and Groundhog Day. During The Last Chapter, they share how they discover new books.
