Show Notes

This week, the MennoBrarians chat with Joe Springer, the curator of the Mennonite Historical Library (MHL) at Goshen College. The MHL is a comprehensive research collection with the mission to collect everything by and about Mennonites and related groups. The collection includes everything from rare works on early Anabaptism to 20 yards worth of Amish Romance books. 

We chat with Joe about the MHL collection, the work he does at the MHL, and test his knowledge of Amish romance publishing and Amish romance plot summaries.
