Episode Synopsis
Mychal Threets Believes Every Child Deserves Access to Books!
In this episode, Messellech “Selley” Abebe chats with Mychal Threets about why every child deserves access to books, what it means when libraries are defunded, and how joy shows up—even on the hardest days. Threets is a literary advocate, former librarian, and the current Resident Librarian for PBS. Together, Abebe and Threets dive into the vital role libraries play in our communities, especially for children. This conversation explores the impact of book bans, the need for libraries to adapt to modern needs, and how they serve not just as spaces for learning, but as sanctuaries of safety, possibility, and belonging.
