Bloomfield Township Public Library is proud to share The Distracted Librarians podcast with library- and booklovers everywhere. The podcast premiered March 1, 2024, and over 20 episodes are already available.
“We use the ‘distracted’ moniker pretty liberally to allow us to bounce around to whatever topics interest us, as long as there’s a tie to storytelling, books, or other forms of media,” said Adult and Teen Services Librarian and co-host Drew Heuser. “We’ve had fun covering things like guilty pleasures, reading slumps, and adaptations of books and stories, as well as telling a few stories of our own, and we’re looking forward to seeing where being easily distractible will take us next,” he adds.
The podcast is hosted by librarians from Adult and Teen Services as well as Youth Services. The librarians partner with Bloomfield Community Television to use their recording space and sound editing expertise, as well as another avenue to share episodes.
Podcast episodes are released twice per month on the 1st and 15th and can be found on Podbean, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other podcast content outlets. Episodes are also available on the library website and the Bloomfield Community Television YouTube channel. We invite the community to sit back, relax, and prepare to get delightfully distracted with us!
