Lisa Talks Library - Downtown Lowdown, Episode 25
The Heart of Every Town is the Library
By: Abbi Heckel
This week's guest on the Downtown Lowdown features Lisa Santucci. You may know her as the Tipp City Librarian but, how much do you know about where she came from? Lisa started her journey into the Librarian world by working at a Mathematics library in Pittsburg. This was a part time gig while she worked towards obtaining a degree in business. While working for the library something shifted from wanting a business degree to pursuing the gateways of imagination. Lisa worked in about every type of library you can imagine but, Science libraries quickly became her passion. Eventually, Lisa followed her heart to Tipp City, Ohio where she now resides and began her job at the Tipp City Library.
What does the Tipp City Library offer that you may not be aware of? Besides providing books at your convenience with no cost there is an astonishing amount of services that the library supplies. During the Covid pandemic the Tipp City library started a curbside book delivery alongside giving out over 50,000 covid tests to those in need! Not to mention they hand cleaned every book to ensure the public’s safety. Those covid tests are still available today as well as many other products you might not know you could borrow.
The library also offers everyday items for check-out. Such as, knee-scooters, walkers, pool crimpers, cones for drivers tests and so much more. You just need your library card in order to obtain these. If you are in need of something, have an idea or want to donate an item for this cause Lisa always keeps her door open to the public. You just need your library card. If you are looking for a specific book and you can’t find it in your area there are 215 different libraries in Ohio that will package and deliver your book to you. So now you have no excuse to not read that one book you’ve been putting off!
With how much the library does for the community we should aim to protect and preserve them as well. Libraries create opportunities for people who otherwise may struggle to educate themselves about the world around them. They are the heart of every city. So, make sure to get a library card. But maybe don’t trust her around gas nozzles though... She has a tendency to drive off with them still attached to her car.
