This week we’re sharing an excerpt from an episode of Down Time with Cranston Public Library in which host Tayla talked with Lauren Parmelee from the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and Lauren Miller-Donnelly from the Nature Conservancy in Rhode Island. We talked about bird watching, books for people who love birds, and ways to meet other birders in Southern New England. You’ll also hear our regular segment, The Last Chapter, where we discuss a library or bookish question. This week we answered the question: what genre would we like to read more of? Enjoy!
