Episode Synopsis

Ever wonder how Rockford Public Library decides which books make it to the shelves — and how that affects you as a reader? In this episode, I talk with Adult Collections librarian Sarah Stumpf about the behind-the-scenes process of building the collection, from community requests to hidden gems. Along the way, you’ll pick up library lingo like ‘circ,’ ‘weeding,’ and discover how Sarah’s passion ensures the Rockford community is reflected, celebrated, and cared for through every book on the shelf.
