97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. Every Wednesday morning, Chapel Hill Public Library director Susan Brown joins 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck for “Talking Books,” a weekly segment of book recommendations, of all genres and for all ages. (Susan also heads up Chapel Hill’s Community Arts and Culture department, so they’ll often talk about upcoming festivals and other cultural events as well.)

Click here to listen back to the full Talking Books archive – and tune in to “This Morning with Aaron Keck” Wednesday mornings at 8:30 on 97.9 The Hill to hear those conversations live.

Susan and Aaron celebrate Labor Day (belatedly) by recommending books about the working world, both fiction and nonfiction. Aaron recommends a biting piece about living in America on low-wage salaries, while Susan has two suggestions, one a great satire and the other a children’s classic. (Susan also offers a preview of Banned Books Week this fall: no trading cards this year, but other exciting programs instead.)
