The episode discusses the strength of small libraries working together through interviews with librarians from the Parkland Regional Library System.

In our final episode of 2025, we sat down with five librarians working at small, rural libraries in the Parkland Regional Library System. Join them for a discussion about how small libraries are stronger together, and how working collaboratively can make a big impact.
