Let's Talk Libraries
Kia ora and hello from Aotearoa, New Zealand. I'm Denise Wilson and I love libraries. I'm a super user and in my work with libraries for over two decades, I see amazing impact they can have on their communities, regardless of the type and size of library. I wanted to create a space to capture the ideas of some of the amazing people I meet and share their stories, as well as share thoughts and challenges. How are people navigating this rapidly changing environment? What impact can libraries make and how can we learn from each other?
So this is the space, Let's talk libraries! Please subscribe wherever you like to listen to your podcasts.
Thank you!

Let's Talk Libraries
Episode 7 - With Catherine Bellamy
Catherine Bellamy is a librarian currently living as a guest in K'emk'emeláy—the Place of Many Maple Trees in the Squamish language—now also called Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, located on the shared ancestral, traditional, and unceded homelands of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. Her ancestors came from western Europe; they eventually settled in the Appalachian Mountains of what is now called Kentucky, the ancestral homelands of the Cherokee and Shawnee peoples, where she calls home.
She talks about building a library in a First Nations elementary school, her passion for outreach services, and the inspiration that guides her work.
