This week on The Book Drop, we’re happy to have back a true fan favorite, David Dick, assistant branch manager at Downtown Branch. We’re using the upcoming 311 Day as a springboard to reminisce about Omaha’s music scene and celebrate the thriving musicians and bands playing today. Plus, we share how you can discover local gems yourself in OPL’s music collection.

But wait, there's more! Keep listening until the end for a bonus segment featuring moments from "An Evening with Anna Quindlen" on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, in partnership with The Bookworm.
