For decades now, public libraries have been more — much more — than places where you can only borrow books. Libraries’ collections now include items from baking dishes to pickleball sets and even to seeds for your garden.

Lisa Champelli is the Collections Manager for MCPL and must curate the library’s veritable warehouse of things.
Host Michael Glab chats with Bloomington’s most fascinating people.
