About Let's Talk Libraries

Kia ora and hello from Aotearoa, New Zealand. I'm Denise Wilson and I love libraries. I'm a super user and in my work with libraries for over two decades, I see amazing impact they can have on their communities, regardless of the type and size of library. I wanted to create a space to capture the ideas of some of the amazing people I meet and share their stories, as well as share thoughts and challenges. How are people navigating this rapidly changing environment? What impact can libraries make and how can we learn from each other? So this is the space, Let's talk libraries! Please subscribe wherever you like to listen to your podcasts. Thank you! Intro music: Bossy Boots © 2023 by Shane Ivers (https://www.silvermansound.com/)
