A new episode of The Checkout Stack featuring @monalyisha and Megan Tully from the Ames Free Library in MA just dropped this morning. Tune in for a great set of book recommendations and a bonus cozy TV show which I enjoyed while recovering from a cold.

thecheckoutstack Thanks so much for listening @BookmarkTavern! 1mo
Chelsea.Poole Just finished the episode. Really enjoyed hearing @monalyisha and all the recs. This may just be my favorite new podcast!?! (I don‘t listen to podcasts but maybe I do now!) 1mo
monalyisha Aww, thanks @Chelsea.Poole & @BookmarkTavern! I don‘t typically listen to podcasts either but you know I think this topic is worth it…and I love Maria‘s passion! I *do* listen to Katherine May‘s podcast occasionally (because of course I do). And I managed to get into “60 Songs That Explain the 90‘s” for a while (the episode about Mazzy Star was my personal fave). 1mo

This elegant biography tells the story of Ada Lovelace, a visionary who blended mathematics and imagination to become the first computer programmer.

Ideal for discussing women in STEM and the history of computers. Students can explore Ada's life and think about how they might use math and science in their own lives.
