We’re on a break for August, and taking this opportunity to share some encore episodes with you. Today we are revisiting episode 15 from the 17th of December 2024. In it, host Cheryl, library director at the Community Libraries of Providence, talks with her colleagues Dhana, Michelle, Lee, and Khamry about the variety of ways CLPVD is building library services that respond to the unique communities they serve. They also get into re-learning how to read for pleasure after school, book club titles, and Hot Frosty. In the Last Chapter, Cheryl asks: What books do you like to give as gifts?
