This week Tayla is joined by Dave and Elise from the William Hall Library to talk about CPL programming for Will Eisner Week. They also talk about balancing heavy and light reading, eating local, and busting myths about corsets. During The Last Chapter, they discuss what major change they would want to see in mainstream literature.
