This month Julie and Cindy and their special guest Kayleigh Sprague discuss what's new at the Wallingford Public Library and what they've been reading. Then Julie and Cindy talk to Kayleigh about her new role as the library's Head of Teen Services.  And they end with a few chicken dishes and a delectable pastry they've been cooking up.
