Podcast by Nicole Klett

The Nurturing Librarian

Reading is not a luxury or guilty pleasure, reading is self-care. The Nurturing Librarian Podcast is here to help you tackle the obstacles that get in the way of reading. After all, self-care starts with a good book. My name is Nicole aka The Nurturing Librarian and I'm a book reviewer, former librarian (but always a librarian at heart) and former library board member with a background in health coaching. Whether you haven't found the time, the right book or are overwhelmed by everything booktok, we can nurture a healthy habit of reading for you! If you are a book lover (or book curious) and are seeking inspiration, motivation, or the latest book buzz, then tune in and let’s nourish a love of reading together.
