On this episode of Backyard Oasis, Greenfield Community College's Associate Dean of Community Engagement Judy Raper speaks with Anna Bognolo (Director) and Francesca Passiglia (Teen Librarian) of the Greenfield Public Library. How has attendance been since the new building opened its doors in July 2023? What sort of programming does the library offer these days, and what does a "typical" library user look like? And later in the episode, at producer Alex's request, an update on his daughter's favorite program: Book Babies!
