In this episode, Julie and Cindy discuss what's new at the Wallingford Public Library and what they've been reading. Then they talk about the joys of summer reading, what it is about summer that makes it a perfect time of year for reading, and what new books they are both looking forward to reading this summer. They end on an extra-sweet note talking about what they're baking.
