Episode Synopsis
The Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach reaches out to inspire, inform, and create a delightful quality of life. Let's get expansive and make some soundwaves. Haven’t you heard? Libraries aren’t that quiet anymore.
Voices from the Stacks empowers library users by sharing their stories. In this podcast, you’ll meet and get to know our staff and our community members and maybe even find your next great read.
In our very first episode Teen Librarian, Sophie, and Associate Librarian, Amris, go into the digital recording studio to talk about how libraries made an impact on their lives and helped them become lifelong readers. They also discuss their reading goals last year. Hispanic Outreach Librarian, Tara, talks with technology librarian Stephen about his goal of reading the top 100 books as chosen by viewers of PBS's The Great American Read. Stephen found that audio books were helpful while commuting to work and caring for a newborn at home. Tara also speaks to volunteer Sister Vivian who helped to facilitate the Community ID of the Palm Beaches ID Drive which provides a reliable form of ID useful for law enforcement, health centers, schools, businesses, and more. Sister Vivian discusses her reading habits, her book club, and how she loves to come to the library to smell the books. Reference Librarian, Emily, speaks with participants of Millennials Ruin a Book Club who talked about how joining the book club helped to expand their reading horizons. Reference Librarian, Bethany, then invites listeners to join the book club.
Children's Librarian, Kristine, was the host and editor for this episode.
