Nothing captures the spirit of a British summer quite like Wimbledon and the iconic pairing of strawberries and cream. This week we're diving into the fascinating history of strawberry cultivation with the RHS Head of Libraries and Exhibitions Fiona Davison, who uncovered a hidden story of pioneering strawberry-focused citizen science. Wisley's Liz Mooney returns to run us through exactly how to keep on top of the vegetable patch during one of the busiest times in the growing season.

In this podcast, Katherine asks the question: How will libraries evolve in the future? She explores the history of libraries and how they have become today. How did computers change how libraries work? Libraries wouldn't be what they are today without the help of technology. Computers have made libraries so much more convenient for librarians and readers. How could libraries change more in the future? They have already changed so much over the years, however, there's always more to evolve to. There could be more Libraries of Things. Listen to the podcast to find out more about libraries and what a Library of Things is.

New York Times bestselling author Adriana Trigiani is back to discuss her latest book, 'The View from Lake Como,' while reflecting on the importance of storytelling, the empowerment of women through literature, and the role of community in fostering a love for reading! She shares insights on the current state of reading among youth, the significance of creativity as an act of faith, and the value of altruism in the arts.   More About Adriana and her latest work:  Adriana Trigiani is the New York Times bestselling author of twenty-one books of fiction and nonfiction, including The Good Left Undone, The Shoemaker's Wife and Lucia, Lucia. Her work has been published in thirty-eight languages around the world. An award-winning playwright, television writer/producer, and filmmaker, Trigiani wrote and directed the major motion picture of her debut novel, Big Stone Gap, adapted her novel, Very Valentine, for television, and directed the award-winning documentary, Queens of the Big Time, among others. THE VIEW FROM LAKE COMO, which Dutton will publish in hardcover on July 8, 2025, is everything an immersive summer read should be—fresh, funny and heart-wrenching, with perfectly imperfect characters that readers will feel deeply connected to. With its vivid depiction of the complexities of familial relationships, this contemporary novel is a love letter to big Italian American families, Old World roots, and daughters who learn to live life on their own terms.

What happens when a typewriter becomes a tool for collective memory? In this episode, Rob Lee reconnects with interdisciplinary artist and activist Sheryl Oring—first featured on the podcast in 2023. Sheryl returns with updates on I Wish to Say, her decades-long public performance project where thousands have dictated postcards to the U.S. president. What began as a solo typewriter setup is now an evolving civic archive—and a way to resist censorship, document the moment, and hold space for unheard voices.This conversation follows a pivotal year for Sheryl—marked by the sudden closure of University of the Arts in Philadelphia—and explores how loss, listening, and literal paper trails have shaped her latest work.Resisting censorship: serving as the first artist on the board of the National Coalition Against CensorshipTyping on tour: collecting messages from parks, libraries, and campuses during an election yearAnalog permanence: archiving 5,000+ typewritten postcards and the invisible labor of cultural memoryPost-UArts Philly: navigating grief, disillusionment, and artistic renewal after institutional collapseFear and self-censorship: how public expression is shifting for immigrants, youth, and marginalized communitiesLibraries as sanctuary: preserving democratic space as book bans and closures escalateArt as care: on fermenting, gardening, and rituals that ground a life in transitionSheryl first appeared on The Truth in This Art in 2023—listen to that conversation [here].This episode was recorded during a season reflecting on archives, resilience, and artists working at the intersection of public space and democratic expression.

What happens to intellectual freedom when libraries come under attack? What happens to curiosity? Librarian and director of the Department of Libraries in Arlington, VA, Diane Kresh joins me to explore the long and storied history of bad-ass librarians, book bans and book sanctuaries, the "curiosity paradox" of such bans, what makes libraries a center for community, and how curiosity is like an insatiable puppy.

Our Writers' salon on the theme of libraries explores characters as diverse as saints, memories, universities, the necessity of writing novels, dystopian visions of the future and seed banks.

Our first reading is 'Members of Dead Libraries' written by Declan Geraghty. He is a working class writer and poet from Dublin. He's had poetry published in Shanghai Poetry Lab, Epoque Press, Militant Thistles, Cry of the Poor and the Brown Envelope Book. His latest short story featured in Lumpen London issue 11. He has won a mentorship with Words Ireland, and their national mentoring program for new writers. He's recently won a scholarship place with The Stinging Fly Play It Forward Programme, and been awarded a mentorship with Skylight 47. The story is read by Simon Roberts. Our next reading 'All Saints' is by Lindsay Gillespie. Lindsay was born in South Wales, and lives in the South Downs.

His story Dirty Chicken & Rice was a 2024 Plaza Prizes finalist, and his adaptation of The Slaves of Solitude was produced by Questors Theatre in 2024. He was a finalist in this year's Fish Flash Fiction Prize.‘The Library' written and read by Martha Stutchbury explores the transformation / decline of a university library, through the eyes of a librarian working on the special collections floor. Martha Stutchbury is an events producer living and working in London. She studies creative writing part-time at Birkbeck University, and has worked as a researcher on creative non-fiction projects including Kate Summerscale's ‘The Book of Phobias and Manias', commissioned by the Wellcome Foundation.

Today I wanted to celebrate Libraries and Librarians since they have taken a large hit in this political climate. They are a treasure to our communities, which is why so many books feature libraries and librarians. To do this, I welcomed back Jocelyn Codner and Jenny Adams, whom you all may remember from my Literacy episode last Fall. For the first 20 minutes, we discuss the state of libraries and celebrate a few victories, as well as share ways you can support your libraries. The rest of the episode is dedicated to book recommendations that feature libraries across genres. I'll list these in my show notes with links to my Bookshop if you want to support my show as well as independent bookstores nationwide. Show notes available at https://www.sheworeblackpodcast.com/

Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: History looms over questions about Lewis twins' deaths The deaths of twin brothers Naazir and Qaadir Lewis on Bell Mountain in Towns County have sparked calls for an independent investigation, as their family and NAACP leaders question the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's (GBI) conclusion of a suicide-suicide. Concerns include gaps in the investigation, such as uncollected security footage and unanswered questions about the circumstances of their deaths. The family and NAACP cite historical distrust between the Black community and law enforcement, drawing parallels to past cases like Ahmaud Arbery. They are urging Governor Kemp to order a transparent, independent review to uncover the full truth. STORY 2: Duluth area lands new office for nations top mortgage lender CrossCountry Mortgage, named the nation’s top retail mortgage lender by Scotsman Guide and Mortgage Executive Magazine, has opened a new office in Duluth at 2675 Breckinridge Boulevard. The office will offer a full range of mortgage services, including support for first-time homebuyers, refinancing, and home equity solutions. Local officials praised the move as a testament to Gwinnett County’s thriving housing market and business-friendly environment. CrossCountry aims to deepen community support and help families achieve homeownership, further solidifying Gwinnett as a hub for financial services and economic growth. STORY 3: Police looking for man who shot at a car at Norcross gas station Gwinnett County police are seeking help identifying a man who fired shots at a car on April 10 at a Shell gas station on Singleton Road in Norcross. The suspect, described as a light-skinned Black male wearing a pink hoodie, white shorts, and carrying a gray book bag, fired multiple shots after an interaction with occupants of a blue Hyundai Elantra. No injuries were reported, but another vehicle’s rear windshield was damaged. Police recovered five 9mm shell casings and released security images of the suspect.

We’ll be right back Break 2: STORY 4: As a homeless teen, she hated Family Promise. As an adult, she fought to make it better. Stephanie Potra, once a homeless teenager, reflects on her challenging experience with Family Promise during the 2006 housing crisis. After her family lost their home, they entered the program, moving weekly between church shelters. Potra, angry and ashamed, struggled with depression, rebellion, and trouble at school, despite maintaining strong grades. Her family eventually regained stability, buying a home through the program’s support. Years later, Potra’s perspective shifted, recognizing Family Promise’s role in helping families rebuild. The nonprofit, founded in the 1980s, continues to provide shelter, financial training, and community support to families facing homelessness. STORY 5: Gwinnett County Public Library Receives Carnegie Grant The Gwinnett County Public Library (GCPL) has received a prestigious national grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to expand English language classes in partnership with Gwinnett County Public Schools. The grant will fund free classes, stipends for volunteer teachers, and bus passes for participants, aiming to support English learners in the community. GCPL is one of 11 libraries nationwide selected through the "Libraries as Pillars of Education and Democracy" initiative, which promotes adult literacy and college readiness.

While you may know the Brooklyn Museum for its wildly popular cutting-edge exhibitions, the borough's premier art institution can actually trace its origins back to a more rustic era -- and to the birth of the city of Brooklyn itself.On July 4, 1825, the growing village laid a cornerstone for its new Brooklyn Apprentices Library, an educational institution to support its young "clerks, journeymen and apprentices." This was a momentous occasion in the history of Brooklyn, a ceremony overseen by the Marquis de Lafayette and observed by a young boy named Walt Whitman.The library was part of a movement -- started a century before by Benjamin Franklin-- to make knowledge readily available within the young country.The Brooklyn Museum's celebratory new exhibition Breaking the Mold: Brooklyn Museum at 200 looks back at its storied origins and eventual growth, encompassing most of the young city's cultural institutions and soon expanding into a monumental new home next to the new Prospect Park, designed by McKim, Mead and White.Abigail Dansiger, the Director of Libraries and Archives, and Meghan Bill, the Coordinator of Provenance, join Greg on this week's show to explain the unusual origins of the Brooklyn Museum and the unique philosophies which inform its exhibitions.PLUS: A couple genuine mysteries lurk within the new exhibition, including a bottle-shaped niche within the cornerstone and an Egyptologist's unencrypted notebook.This episode was edited by Kieran Gannon
