Show Summary:

When was the last time you visited your local library?  Still thinking?  If so, it’s time to get off of the couch and go see what your library can do for you!  Libraries are essential to our communities but also to our pursuit of being better every day.  They are great sources of knowledge, can save you a ton of money, and are places where communities can congregate and grow stronger.  On today's show, we welcome Ms. Stacey and Ms. Molly from the Townsend Public Library to help us learn more about our local libraries and how we can better utilize and support them.
