Librarian Live

A radio show is produced by the North Texas Regional Library System. Here is Librarian Live Episode 40: "The New Questa Public Library." This episode features an interview with Carolyn Anderson, Director of the Questa Public Library in Questa, NM and focuses on how the library, open since January of this year, began in this small community which had previously never had library services.

The Questa Public Library engages all the aspects of a special library becoming visible in a small community (less than 2000). It exemplifies community involvment utilizing a solo librarian and volunteers. I chose this podcast interview for its relaxed, optimistic, and encouraging dialog breathing life into the mission of this blog.
