Welcome to our podcast!

Why the Library?

Why the Library? is hosted by Miss Isabella Boartfield, a dedicated teen volunteer, and produced in coordination with Library staff. 

Miss Isabella, or Izzie, looks through the eyes of the people who know the library best to show you what's happening at the forefront, behind the scenes, and even in the community around us.

Topics include interviewing staff on banned books, programs, services, and much more to share that libraries are more than just books!

Do you have questions you'd like Izzie to cover? Email us at the link below and we'll consider it for a future episode!
