Edmonton Public Library

Staff-created list

This list contains items talked about on the Edmonton Public Library podcast, Overdue Finds. The new year is almost here, but before we ring in 2022, Overdue Finds takes a look back at the year that was. Hosts Bryce and Caroline are joined by returning guests Richard Thornley and Nancy Sheng to share their favourite books, movies, music, and more. We also get into what different media formats mean for library collections and brainstorm ideas for the Overdue Finds Person of the Year. Plus: what we finally checked out this year and what we can’t wait for next year. Don’t miss it!
