Talking about the upcoming podcast, Julie said: "As a child, I read anything and everything I could get my hands on. There was no greater joy for me than to curl up with a good read."
"Books transported me away from the World War II Blitz and into the realm of my imagination and other worlds and ideas.
"When I became a parent, I passed the love of reading on to my children. Our shared passion for the power of storytelling, literacy, and the arts remains fervent."
The screen star continued: "It is our hope that the stories and ideas we share on Julie's Library will provide family listening pleasure, inspire meaningful conversations, and be a trusted resource for literary enjoyment and learning.
