What is library advocacy and why is it necessary? What makes libraries important beyond being a place to borrow books and engage in quiet study? In this episode, we interview Maureen Sullivan, former ALA President and current interim Director of New Haven Free Public Library, about being a champion for the library, why we need the library and other "palaces for the people," how the role of the public library has shifted, and more.
Also in this episode, the first in a new "behind the scenes" segment interviewing staff members about their work in the library. This month we speak with Sandy Bartell, branch manager of Brundage Community Branch library, as well as Danielle Helenski, library media specialist at Shepherd Glen Elementary School. And Mike Wheatley reviews the librarian as portrayed in cinema.
