Build your 'to be read' pile with Books and Beyond
For lovers of literature and those who don’t know where to start (and everyone in between!), we have the perfect podcast to help build your ‘to be read’ pile.
Books and Beyond is our weekly radio show and podcast where we explore the world of books with guest authors, recommended reads and… beyond!
Discussing everything from time travel and banned books to Pacific poetry and feminist fiction, each week hosts Alison and Ineka share their love of reading and give you inspiration for what to add to your library request list.
With informative insights, fresh perspectives, and a feast of fun – no matter the theme of the episode, one thing’s for sure – you will learn something new every episode!
Meet the hosts
Alison and Ineka are our Reading Engagement specialist team and are passionate about the benefits of reading for pleasure and wellbeing and want to inspire you to join them to get cosy with a great book.
A science graduate and constant reader, Alison began her career as a chemist but soon emerged from the lab to join the wonderful world of humans and books. Now a seasoned librarian, Alison is a self-described ‘free radical’ and flâneur who plays Tai Chi and performs in a ukulele band. She’s an open-minded reader who enjoys sampling the latest fiction, with a particular penchant for a good crime novel.
Ineka loves a good yarn, a great read, and any coffee on offer. She’s found her happy place and hopefully her forever home in libraries, crediting her mum, who spent the ‘80s dragging bags of books home from libraries and school fairs, four kids in tow. An unrepentant feminist and night owl, when Ineka’s not devouring a book, she’s happy dancing, singing and op-shopping (sometimes all at once).
