DESCRIPTION:With Summer in full swing Full Volume: The Manchester Libraries Podcast returns for its spectacular sixth edition.  \nWith more features than the complimentary newspapers in the BIPC\, this month’s episode sees host Alan Lynch sitting down with acclaimed Manchester children’s author Kimberly Whittam. Kimberly’s new book ‘Quiet Storm’ has just been selected to be Manchester Libraries’ transition read 2025 – with 8\,000 copies of the brilliant book gifted to local pupils to help them get ready for secondary school.
