Introducing a new feature: profiles of Library Power Users! Our first guest is Sammy, a 12-year old reading enthusiast and someone who, like us, LOVES the library.

We’ll also learn more about the well-stocked Explorer Backpacks from the “Library of Things” and other ways the public library helps connect us with nature. Susie Reddy of the Morro Coast Audubon Society joins us at Sweet Springs Nature Preserve to talk birds, libraries, and more.

We climb into a Time Machine with folks from Festival Mozaic to learn about the Young Musicians performances that took place in several libraries in SLO County during this annual summer festival. We also speak with Susana Lewis, the Coordinating Librarian for Youth Services, to learn more about the 2025 Summer Reading Program and how to keep kids and families engaged in reading throughout the year.
