Cambron talks to us about curating a charming, cozy vibe, and a culture, too, as a combination of romance novels and children's books, but also serving as an events space, particularly for book clubs and storytimes. </p>
<p>April 25 is Indie Bookstore Day, so that's an excellent time to visit the store (if you haven't already). But ALSO, Erin talks to us about bigger plans down the line, looking ahead to the Banned Together Book Fest on October 10. <a href='https://bannedtogetherbookfest.com/'>https://bannedtogetherbookfest.com/</a> </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Here are some things we know to be true:</p>
<p>1.) The Detroit Institute of Arts is simply a gem of a cultural destination and community resource that enlightens, educates, enriches, and entertains the tri-county Metro area and beyond!</p>
<p>2.) Their incredible exhibition, Painted with Silk, just closed last week, spanning the art of early American Embroidery from the 1600s up into the 1830s, just one of many special exhibitions curated by the DIA and open to the public year-in and year-out!</p>
<p>3.) We have two podcast cohosts, Erin &amp; Mary Grahame, who are enthusiastic practioners and appreciators of the Fiber Arts, so they thought a field trip TO the D.I.A. with our library mascot, Fern the Frog, could prove to build a budding partnership between the museum and our library! They were right! Tune in for our conversation! </p>
<p>Oh, and stay tuned for updates, coming later in the Fall, when the Ferndale Library partners with the D.I.A. to coordinate guided tours, including free shuttle transportation (from the library) down to the museum! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[This week, we're getting nostalgic AND providing some reading recommendations! It's our podcast's annual Summer Reading Spectacular! We're talking about books that we have fond memories of reading during the summers of our past, as well as particularly fond memories tied to the Summer Reading Programs hosted by the public libraries we attended as kids/teens! 
 
Correction: We discuss the 2024 book Bitter Water Opera by Nicolette Polek, because we're huge fans and it's a fine novel to read during the summertime, HOWEVER, we mention that Polek graduated from Harvard, but she in fact graduated from the Yale Divinity School ~ and currently teaches creative writing at SUNY Purchase. Hopefully Polek will be a guest on this podcast some day soon! 
 
Also, mark your calendars for our Kickoff Party happening here on Saturday, June 7, from 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm: <a href='http://www.fadl.org/summer'>www.fadl.org/summer</a>

Hosts Jeff &amp; Mary Grahame talk about the importance of observing Banned Books Week and why they prefer a bit of a cuter phrase for it, such as "Freedom to Read 'Em." </p>
<p>This ongoing podcast is hosted and produced from inside the Ferndale Area District Library, just one mile north of Detroit, Michigan. Coming up in this season, we'll continue to bring you unique portraits of life inside of a library while demystifying misconceptions around the mission of libraries and the work of library staff--we'll also have fun literary-themed panel discussions and interviews with other librarians from around the state! </p>

Malerman talks about his deep dive into the literary tradition of "haunted house" tales with this new story about Bela, an 8-year-old narrator who discovers a malevolent entity inside of her house that she refers to as "Other Mommy," a strange and possibly ghostly imaginary-frienemy who starts to creepily ask Bela a strange question: “Can I go inside your heart?” </p>

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[This week, we're chatting with Metro Detroit's own Josh Malerman, the NY Times Bestselling author of Bird Box, as he looks ahead to the forthcoming release of his latest work of suspenseful (and supernatural) horror, Incidents Around The House (out on June 25, via Del Rey). Malerman talks about his deep dive into the literary tradition of "haunted house" tales with this new story about Bela, an 8-year-old narrator who discovers a malevolent entity inside of her house that she refers to as "Other Mommy," a strange and possibly ghostly imaginary-frienemy who starts to creepily ask Bela a strange question: “Can I go inside your heart?”

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>We went ahead and recorded an entire episode using the phrase "Third Space," which is used significantly less than the original phrase: "Third PLACE." But oh well. As library staff, we like the word "space" because it just seems to imply much more possibility! Anyway, whether you say "Third Place" or "Third Space," the idea is simple: it's not your  workspace, it's not your home space, it's your THIRD SPACE..., a communal space where you can exist, relax, be creative, and ideally not be expected or required to pay any admission or purchase something in order to be there. </p>
<p>Your library is here for you. Comfy furniture, free wi-fi, and a relatively quiet--though not TOO quiet--atmosphere. It has always been, and remains, an ideal third "place"!</p>
<p>TODAY: We have guests from the Ferndale Library, the <a href='https://www.ropl.org/1532/Library'>Royal Oak Public Library</a>, and the <a href='https://www.fowlervillelibrary.net/'>Fowlerville District Library</a>, sharing their thoughts and perspectives on this subject, as well as talking about some of their own favorite "spaces" in their libraries. </p>

<p>The Untended Garden is a visual reflection structured in three acts – the expectations of women as informed by society and culture, the transformation that women reach as they break through during their coming of age, and the resolution of self that comes from the acceptance of flaws and the reality of aging. By combining still life and self-portrait photographs with experimental photographic alcohol transfer methods, this project explores multiple facets of the cyclical nature of life in a garden as a metaphor to reflect on the experience of women.  </p>

At that conference, our podcast hosts were greeted by Matthew Lawrence, who currently works at the Herrick District Library. Lawrence was the interim director of the Patmos Library in 2022, right in the thick of that library, weathering a flurry of book challenges that eventually resulted in the library being defunded. (Its millage was recently renewed in November of 2023). Suffice to say, we had a lot to talk about! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Listen to two millennials and one elder-zoomer share their love of the 1980 musical-comedy The Blues Brothers. It was almost 45-years ago, to the day, that John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd performed at the Universal Amphitheatre, in L.A., essentially kicking off the fervor of popularity for the dynamic duo. It's also, sadly, the 5 year anniversary of the passing of the great Aretha Franklin, who famously appeared in this John Landis film. We share our analysis through a 2023 lens and celebrate its strong themes of loyalty, friendship, and the power of music. We encourage YOU to seek out a circulating copy of the film, on either DVD or BluRay, from your local library. </p>

<p><a href='https://www.fadl.org/scs-july'>https://www.fadl.org/scs-july</a> </p>
<p>After a five-year hiatus encompassing the birth of a son, a third coast to west coast and back to the third coast move, and an ongoing global pandemic - Chris Bathgate returns with 'The Significance of Peaches'. On this, his 6th full-length album, the NPR & BBC-lauded artist is found ruminating on time spent living in the National Forests of Michigan while homeless, his emergence into fatherhood, and yes, the significance a certain stone fruit has played throughout hthe artist's life. Sonically, 'The Significance of Peaches' leans heavily on the structural support of parlor organ and Bathgate's signature multi-tracked percussion - sparse use of piano and strings sheathed in the middle - his haunted vocals perched atop it all.</p>

<p>-</p>
<p></p>
<p>Pancho Villa’s Skull was started by Tino Ybarra in 2011. While growing up in Pontiac, Michigan, Tino developed a love from Mariachi music through his grandfather on his mother's side who played trumpet in mariachi bands. He also, spent time in south Texas with his paternal grandfather who took him across the border to Mexico from time to time so, he could know where he came from. As, he got older he started playing in punk and ska bands around Detroit yet, he wanted to feel more connected to his roots.</p>
<p>He decided to create what he calls Mariachi punk and blended the acoustic instrumentation and other elements of the mariachi sound with the energy and political commentary of the classic punk music. Named after Mexican Revolutionary general Pancho Villa, whose skull was stolen from his grave in 1926, Pancho Villa’s Skull was originally a solo act featuring Ybarra on vocals and acoustic guitar. At the beginning of 2016 his brother Rolando Ybarra joined the band to play percussion and added to the sound heavily. Making the sound bigger but, maintaining a stripped down feel.</p>

We'll look back at last year, especially some of the instances that made headlines, but we'll also talk about the rights that library patrons have when it comes to intellectual freedoms and privacy. We are also fairly caffeinated on this episode, and we certainly did our best to keep things a bit light. For more information, though, on MLA's task force for intellectual freedoms, visit MI Right to Read. https://www.mirighttoread.com/ ]]></itunes:summary>

Ten years ago, to the day, January 12, 2013, Mike's first-ever solo show was also hosted here in the library, and it was on that occasion that Mike initiated an interesting experiment. He passed out 60 small shreds of canvas, the cut-up remains of a recently-finished painting that had not been revealed or displayed to anyone/anywhere, and he instructed everyone who attained a piece of canvas to "come back to the library in 10 years to assemble the painting." Well, we talk about that, and we talk about a LOT of other artful topics, as well. </p>

<p>Laura Weymouth is a Canadian living in America, and the sixth consecutive generation of her family to immigrate from one country to another. Born and raised in the Niagara region of Ontario, she now lives at the edge of the woods in western New York, along with her husband, two wild-hearted daughters, and an ever-expanding menagerie of animal friends.</p>
<p></p>
<p>More about her latest, A Consuming Fire: </p>
<p>Uprooted meets The Grace Year in this dark young adult fantasy of love and vengeance following a girl who vows to kill a god after her sister is unjustly slain by his hand.

Weatherell girls aren’t supposed to die.

Once every eighteen years, the isolated forest village of Weatherell is asked to send one girl to the god of the mountain to give a sacrifice before returning home. Twins Anya and Ilva Astraea are raised with this destiny in mind, and when their time comes, spirited Ilva volunteers to go. Her devoted sister Anya is left at home to pray for Ilva’s safe return. But Anya’s prayers are denied.

With her sister dead, Anya volunteers to make a journey of her own to visit the god of the mountain. But unlike her sister, sacrifice is the furthest thing from Anya’s mind. Anya has no intention of giving anything more to the god, or of letting any other girl do so ever again. Anya Astraea has not set out to placate a god. She’s set out to kill one.</p>

In the book (out this week), people awake in new incarnations, uncertain how their neighbors, friends, and family will greet them. Are these transformations the long-dreaded overturning of the established order, or will this change take on a different shading: a chance at a kind of rebirth?  <a href='http://www.mohsinhamid.com/'>http://www.mohsinhamid.com/</a>

On this week's episode, Damon, Jeff, Kerrie and Simon are discussing VIDEO GAMES, which is one of the many items that our library circulates! We're talking about our favorite games from our formative years, as well as the games we enjoy playing today! We also talk about some of the misconceptions commonly held over "gaming" as a recreation. You can find "A Little Too Quiet" wherever you get your podcasts.
 

 
Some of the quirkier games discussed today include:
Untitled Goose Game (Nintendo Switch/PS4/PS5)
Judgment (Yakuza) (PS4/PS5/Xbox)
Kingdom Hearts The Story So Far (PS4/Xbox)
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion (Nintendo Switch/Xbox)
Monster Prom (Xbox/Nintendo Switch/PS4)

Passionate fans of a particular novel tend to feel let down when it is adapted for the silver screen. But how much of that is subjective? Our experience with a novel is one of natural solitude and becomes not only a very intense connection (presuming we've enjoyed the novel) but also a very personal connection. Brendan Kredell, Assc. Prof. of Cinema Studies at Oakland University returns to talk about the heavy lifting all screenwriters/directors/actors have to do when translating a book to film. </p>
<p>Also, we're teasing the eventual start-up of a new FILM DISCUSSION group, this fall! We hope you'll join us. </p>
