At the 2015 NINC conference, librarian Alene Moroni and her partner in library badassery Brenna Shanks presented a workshop about libraries. I heard from some of the people who attended that it was terrific, so I asked Alene if she’d be willing to talk about it on the podcast. We discuss library market share, some of the misconceptions about libraries, library protection of user privacy, and how readers and authors can help their local library be the best version of itself. Special thanks to Mel Jolly for connecting me with Alene!

Tori Baldwin is a successful sports agent who enjoys her work, her clients, and, on the occasional free night, an uncomplicated love life.
While unwinding over Christmas in Hawaii, she chances upon a surfing competition, and all the lean hard men that come with it—especially Alex McConnell, a young surfer at the top of his game, and his sexy business manager, Ben Reynolds. The attraction Tori feels for both men is off the charts and fueling the hottest passion she’s ever felt.
Soon, Alex and Ben will move on to the next big wave and Tori will head home. But as each night passes, Alex and Ben’s feelings for Tori swell. And for the first time ever, Tori’s thinking twice about the men she’ll leave behind—and a kind of love that could change all their lives forever.
