The American Library Association stripped Laura Ingalls Wilder's name from a major children's literature award in 2018 due to perceived racism in her "Little House on the Prairie" books. The hosts discuss the ongoing trend of removing historical names from awards and speculate on future targets for similar actions.

Public libraries frequently hold book sales to manage shelf space and clear out donated or older volumes, offering large reference sets and antique cookbooks for minimal prices. Collectors often seek out pre-1950s cookbooks for their unique household tips and historical perspective on domestic life. These sales serve as a primary source for building personal libraries of coffee table books and specialized reference materials.
