What’s Funny to One

Kathleen Holt

I was somewhat filled with trepidation when we selected Humor Me! as the theme for the 2025 Spring Read. Perhaps it was a career working with troubled kids and families or maybe I am “just one of those people” but I find my personal humor somewhat dark.

An Unexpected Memory

Marjory Hall

Greetings from Goodwell in the Oklahoma Panhandle! I’m Marjory Hall with a BookByte for the Radio Reader’s Series. Words are important. The words we use reflect how we perceive the world and how we react to it. We can choose whether that perception is positive and accepting or negative, rejecting people and experiences without really giving them much consideration.

Matt Kliewer

In his seminal work Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art, Scott McCloud argues, “We all live in a state of profound isolation. No other human being can ever know what it’s like to be you from the inside. And no amount of reaching out to others can ever make them feel exactly what you feel.
