Surprise! This month The Library Scoop will be giving you not one, but four episodes!

We are kicking off our October series by talking to Aggie Fitch, the Communications Manager of the Dinner Party. The Dinner Party's mission is "To transform some of our hardest conversations and most isolating experiences into sources of community support, candid conversation, and forward movement using the age old practices of gathering and breaking bread". Aggie and Carleigh talk about the history of the organization and where it will be going from here.
