Welcome to our improved Bee Cave Public Library Podcast Channel! Here you can find the podcasts for our Teen Advisory Board (TAB) and our new Bee Cave Book Haul podcast.

Our TAB podcasts feature teens from our community talking about their favorite reads, discussing banned books and even featuring ads and book trailers they have made for BCPL events. 

“Bee Cave Book Haul” is where our librarians Megan and Cate talk about about the latest books they are reading and what titles are new or coming to BCPL. Look out for special guests and fun challenges. We can’t wait to hear what you want us to add to the show. 

About TAB:
The Teen Advisory Board meets the first Saturday of each month, during the school year, at 2 p.m. and is open for teens grades 7-12. The library hosts regular teen programming throughout the summer and school year, planned by the teens themselves.

About Bee Cave Book Haul hosts:
Book Haul is hosted by our Technical Services Librarian/Digital Specialist Megan and Public Services Manager Cate. Guests include members of TAB, co-workers, patrons and anyone who holds still long enough for Megan to ask "what are you reading right now?"

You can leave comments here, or visit the Bee Cave website. Feel free to email Megan about the podcast at mfischer@beecavetexas.gov with the subject “Bee Cave Podcast” for a quicker response. We look forward to hearing from you and finding out what books you think we should be talking about, or what you are looking forward to reading!
