Books And Authors Week: A Big-Time Librarian Kept “Goodnight Moon” Off The Shelves For 25 Years
Manage episode 495808016 series 2922787
This week we're replaying our favorite shows about writers and the printed page. In this episode from January 2020, the New York Public Library didn’t have a copy of one of the most iconic children's books of all time for decades, because a librarian didn’t like it. Plus: two pranksters added silent records to a jukebox, but customers decided they liked the quiet.
Top 10 Checkouts of All Time (New York Public Library)
The Quintessential Librarian Stereotype: Wrestling With the Legacy of Anne Carroll Moore (School Library Journal)
The Restorative Pause of Silent Record Week (New Yorker)
I could write a book about the amazing Patreon backers that make Cool Weird Awesome possible!
