Welcome to Fairfield, What Are You Reading, a next-book podcast from Fairfield Public Library in Fairfield, CT. Each episode we gather a group of library staff together for a conversation about books and reading. Imagine you come to the library, ask a librarian for a next read, a couple more staff stop by, and soon everyone is talking their favorite new books. Fairfield, What Are You Reading has been honored by Million Podcasts' as Best 100 Library Podcasts. In 2025, we paused the podcast. Please enjoy our older episodes.
