Next Episode: Episode 20: Classics, or why we bother with the old stuff

Angela and Kelly go full librarian this week, talking about how libraries choose what books to put on the shelves--and what has to go. Ever wonder who gets to pick what manga/graphic novels your library carries? (Spoiler: it's us). Frustrated that a library got rid of your favorite series? (Guilty). We talk about budget and space constraints, out of print titles, the challenge balancing old and new, the siren call of nostalgia, and why we sometimes remove books you loved (sorry, Fushigi Yugi). Learn the darkest secrets of the library!
