The Thread with Kerri Miller - Book Talk on MPR

I just heard about a new website by Kerri Miller of MPR (Minnesota Public Radio) called the Thread. It was launched this past February and is the place you'll find information on new books,  Talking Volumes and other literary events in the region. In an interview with Saint Paul Magazine Miller described it as “an all-encompassing, digital media and event-oriented initiative for people who love to read.” You can sign up to get emails when there are new posts. There's also a podcast where you can listen to author interviews wherever you are. You can also listen from the website. Here's some links to some recent posts on new books we have at the Northfield Library.
