Lawrence Public Library Staff reveal their top picks for media discoveries in 2021
A City Pop Summer
More so than any other season, summer finds me relistening to my favorite oldies—Sam Cooke, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, and more start showing up in the late spring and a month later, they’re dominating the airwaves. What can I say? The sixties and summer are perfect complements. This year though, I’ve been bopping my head…
