Tanya Bohannon talks with Ariel Long, Circulation Supervisor at Jackson County Public Library, about how the library is creating opportunities for people of all ages to connect, learn and discover something new. They discuss the library’s programs and resources, the importance of making libraries welcoming community spaces, and creative ways to encourage people to read. Long also shares how library staff help patrons find resources that fit their interests, from books and digital media to children’s programming and community events. They also take a closer look at the popular Reading Room Ruffians book podcast and how it brings conversations about books beyond the library walls. (jackson.park.lib.wv.us)
