Book Lust with Nancy Pearl featuring University Book Store bookseller Brad Craft

Title: Book Lust with Nancy Pearl featuring University Book Store bookseller Brad Craft
Runtime: 26:11
Date posted: 1 year ago
Description: This month’s guest on Book Lust with Nancy Pearl is Brad Craft, a long-time bookseller at Seattle’s University Book Store. The two reminisce about how much book publishing and bookselling have changed since Craft started selling books in the 1980s. Spoiler: it’s a lot. But, while a lot has changed, the fundamental relationship between books and readers hasn’t. The two talk about genres and how booksellers connect readers to their next favorite book. Craft tells Nancy about “Brad’s Big Fat Book Club,” the online book club he organizes that meets monthly to collectively tackle really long books, making 600-page books less intimidating.

Date posted: 1 year ago
Description: Seattle City Councilmember Dan Strauss (District 6) joined advocates at Me-Kwa-Mooks Park on Tuesday, June 10, to advocate for fully funding Seattle's renowned Environmental Education and Outdoor Learning program.

Due to the city’s budget deficit, the program is scheduled to run out of funding next year. The current version of the Every Child Ready Initiative would only restore 38 percent of the funding for the Environmental Learning Program. The other 62 percent, including funding for the paid volunteer coordinator, would be cut.

Councilmember Strauss is proposing an amendment that would fully fund the environmental learning program for kids and families. This will ensure that the program continues to serve Seattle’s kids at its historic levels.
