Welcome to the home of the Using our Library Voices Podcast

Our Podcasts

Our monthly podcasts represents yet another way that Harris County Public Library provides information and resources to enrich lives and strengthen communities through innovative programs and services both within and beyond our walls.

Using our Library Voices creates conversation for listeners to dive deeper into the subjects we discuss. In each episode, librarians will explore a theme with the resources available to you at the library. We aim to spark a dialogue, spread a little knowledge, and add some entertainment to your day with our podcast.

We have a couple of spin off shows where librarians can dive deep into topics, such as Are You Afraid of the Stacks?, a podcast from 2 Children's Librarians discussing the creepier side of Children's Literacy and Gabbing with the Librarians, a conversational podcast with other librarians about issues surrounding the library industry.

More than just books.
