Listen to four librarians from urban, suburban and rural settings provide a glimpse into the umwelt of their libraries. Today's conversation explores the many services provided by the Monroe County Library System - many of which may surprise you! Libraries are not just for books, but also provide access to technology, offer tutoring for all age ranges, connect people to resources... and so much more!  The four will also share insights on topics related to COVID19, how book challenges are handled (Banned Books) and the unique aspects of their community's use of the library.

Hipocampo has collaborated with the Monroe County Library System since the bookstore's inception: on storytelling, book purchases and participating in library programs.
