Episode 58 is the final episode of our special Behind the Book season. And we're going out with an inspirational bang.
In order to inspire you to rise up in defense of the book, we're sharing two exciting examples of literary activists from history.
We're going from Civil War era Spain, to the island of Puerto Rico. We're going from wartime, to story time, to showcase how many different ways we can all support a thriving literary ecosystem.
Tune in to get educated and inspired by Spain's Alliance of Anti-Fascist Intellectuals, and by New York city librarian, Pura Belpré.
*Also, hear Lori's literary updates for the summer.
