Listen "Island Librarians: Navigating Literacy and Connection in Nantucket's 6-12 Library"
Episode Synopsis
Host Shannon McClintock Miller talk with Nantucket librarians Becky Hickman and Jill Surprenant about the joys and unique challenges of running a shared 6–12 library on an island. From a beautifully renovated space to innovative programming like canine therapy, student podcasting, and community-building morning events, these librarians are making waves. Hear how they balance it all—from middle school independent reading to a thriving high school book club—and what it means to foster literacy and connection miles from the mainland.
