Get so excited when the library book you’ve been waiting for comes in that you skip out of school or work to pick it up? Measure a “quick trip” to the library in HOURS instead of MINUTES? Is the library website in your smart phone’s Favorites? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you ARE a Library Nerd. Library Nerds with Words is the podcast where you get the word on everything library. The Peter White Library Nerds are in and ready to show you that being a nerd can be cool!
