Stump the Librarian: Venomous Dragons


It’s new episode day for Stump the Librarian. Join Librarians Jill and Liz as they learn a little more about the world around us. If you’re taking a road trip over the winter break, why not download an episode or two? Today, Liz explores which bones in our body float. It seems strange, but they don’t float like a boat! Next, special guest librarian Jackie arrives for a fun fact of the day about Olympic medals. Jill then dives underwater to explore an incredible sea creature called a Blue Glaucus. They have an adaptation you will not believe. Finally, Liz recommends a fun chapter book that makes you think, what would you do with half a million dollars? Tune in as we laugh and learn together!

Join our librarians every other Wednesday as they try to answer your inquisitive questions and see if it’s possible to stump a librarian. Do you have a burning question? They would love to hear what questions are on your mind! Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast via stumpthelibrarian.podbean.com or wherever you prefer to listen, so you never miss an episode.
