- What do you get when you mix kids, books and talk radio? You get Kid's Book Beat. Each month on WKXL Radio, Rundlett Library Media Specialist Nancy J. Keane takes to the airwaves to talk about books. Students join her for a book discussion. There is a different theme each month and listeners are encouraged to call in to join the chat.
