WBAA-AM is getting another upgrade! Starting August 11, tower maintenance may cause occasional signal disruptions for a few weeks. You can still hear WBAA News on 105.9 FM, at wbaa.org, or on the WBAA app. Thanks for your patience during this essential work.
Join West Lafayette Public Library Director Nick Schenkel as he reviews books from all walks of literature.

The Muses Go To School

Whoa!  Did Herbert Kohls write that sports are part of the creative world?  That developing my home budget is a creative act as is dancing or listening to music as I study? What is going on here?!  This is NOT your typical “arts are good because they foster math skills” kind of book, is it?  No, it certainly is NOT!  This IS a book that makes the case for celebrating the arts in the curriculum of our schools and our daily lives.

Nick Schenkel, retired Director of the West Lafayette Public Library, is a long time WBAA contributor who reviews books from all walks of literature.
