Quincy Library Book Notes...

Join us as we explore the good, the bad, and the downright ugly in the new book review show on WGEM News/Talk Radio 105 called QUINCY LIBRARY BOOK NOTES. Books from the Quincy Public Library will be featured every week and Library patrons can follow along by picking up their very own copy of the upcoming book. To place a hold on any of the following titles- please visit the online catalog.


Quincy Library’s Book Notes is hosted by Quincy Public Library book club coordinator Katie Kraushaar with the support of Library staff members.  Every week, a book club book or alternative library book will be reviewed on WGEM radio by Katie, Rich Cain and Greg Haubrich.  Tune in Tuesdays at 8:35 a.m. to hear the show!
