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 11 - With Zach Stier
Zach Stier runs a children’s department at Ericson Public Library in Boone, Iowa, USA.
He describes his work as a mission ‘to provide a space for children to enjoy learning, know who they are as much as possible, how they learn and to celebrate that’.
In this episode we talk about children’s services and his passion for asset based partnering. We also get into neurodiversity, learning challenges, mental health and the importance he puts on self reflection.
