A Taste of What The Public Library in a Village of 255 People Has To Offer…

Man, do I love small town libraries! And always great to see the amazing things happening across the regional system where I first worked after completing my MLIS 13 (!) years ago.  Southeast Regional Library has a slogan “Not The Library You Remember” and though I think it’s mostly aimed at people who only remember […]
