This weekend, C-Span 2 ran a video of Nancy Pearl recommending summer books in the aisles at ALA (watch here).

Also on the site is Nancy’s ALA interview with Mary McDonagh Murphy, author of Scout, Atticus & Boo, which examines influence of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. The video includes clips of interviews Murphy did for the book as well as from the movie (watch here). It’s worth watching, if only to hear Adriana Trigiani reading the part of Scout.
