Jeff Hoover welcomes Lindsey Westerfield and Kristina Burton from the Russell County Public Library to talk about new support services, including one-on-one help with applications, online accounts, Medicare enrollment, and digital basics for seniors. They also share upcoming programs and explain how the library is working as a true community hub.

In the second segment, Russell Springs Elementary principal Kevin Reynolds joins the show to walk through this year’s assessment results. He talks about the school’s long run of high performance, how teachers use MAP testing to guide instruction, and why a strong school climate matters just as much as scores.
