Show Notes

This week Outlander Travel is embracing it’s literary roots. You may remember me referring to my “previous life” as a librarian. This week I’ve invited some of my literary-minded, librarian “squad” to discuss how books can inspire travel, and how we can help you create itineraries that allow you to visit some of your favorite settings. Janet has worked for over 20 years as a librarian.  During that time she has had various roles; she has led books clubs, answered reference questions, helped children with their schoolwork and recommended books for purchase.  And then there’s her favorite task, helping people find a good book to read. Dan has worked connecting people and books for over twenty years in both bookstores and public libraries. He is the Adult Services Manager at our local library system and he co-manages programs for the library system around recreational reading, including author visits.

Books and travel go together perfectly. Listen in and discover some great ideas and resources for your vacation reads. Travel to Ireland through the novels of Maeve Binchy…Eat, Pray and Love around the world…explore the south of Pat Conroy…when we travel by book, the choices are endless!
