Miss Rebekah and Miss Ing from the Shaler North Hills Library reflect on a headline from the past week through wit, wisdom and song. If you are news junkie, a fan of literature, a library lover, a friend of the spotted owl, a devotee of asparagus, you have found the podcast you had previously known only in your dreams. If you enjoy their daily programs for children at the library or on facebook.com/shalerlibrary, this podcast is just for you. Why should the kids be the only ones subjected to such ridiculousness? *Rebekah and Ing are librarians at the Shaler North Hills Library, however the opinions voiced in this podcast are solely their own.

Rebekah and Ing take an online enneagram test to find out their types! We do not recommend doing this, except for fun, but we HIGHLY recommend learning more about the enneagram and studying it seriously with someone who knows about it! For those whose path is Christianity, they recommend the Center for Action and Contemplation and Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM.
