Episode 17 - Jaguars and Jolly Ranchers

Your favorite friendly neighborhood librarians are back with another information-filled episode of Stump the Librarian! In this episode, our librarians prove that they will try their best to answer any and every question they get! And will always go a little above and beyond what you asked for, but hey that’s what librarians are for. Listen as Emily and Courtnei, with a little help from our librarian-behind-the-computer, Jill, answer questions about the moon, jaguars, and Florida’s state representatives. You’ll learn quite a bit and hopefully laugh a little too! 

 

Join us every other Wednesday as we answer listener questions about space, nature, human bodies, animals, and so much more. You can submit your own question for a chance to Stump the Librarian. Check out kdl.org/stump. You can also email us at Stumpthelibrarian@kdl.org. We would love to hear from you! You can follow our podcast at stumpthelibrarian.podbean.com/ or anywhere you get podcasts.
