Host Tayla talks with Alicia from the University of Rhode Island, Dymond from Bryant University, and Olivia from Salve Regina University about the services and resources that their libraries offer to first generation college students to help them succeed in higher education. They also get into queer picture books for children and the joys of action movies. In the Last Chapter they discuss: would you rather only be able to read books written before the 20th century or after?
