What happens when readers feel burned-out by books, don't know what to read, or just don't feel like reading?  Even the most avid readers can get stuck in a rut when it comes to pursuing this wonderful hobby. The Distracted Librarians feel that way too sometimes! In this episode, we discuss the drudgery of being in a reading slump, and how you can work to get out of it. Want to join the conversation?

In this episode, the Distracted Librarians reflect on the ways their reading tastes and habits have changed - alongside the endless evolutions in technology, work schedules, and life stages. We have better access to stories in all kinds of formats: from physical books and ebooks to video games and concept albums. So what formats and stories captivate us now, and how do they compare to the readers we used to be? And do we still think our moms are cool? (Spoiler alert: Our moms are still really cool.)
