As part of National Library Week, we took a closer look at the critical and evolving role libraries play in our lives. To help us understand, we welcomed two local leaders in library services—Ryan McCory, Executive Director of the Dauphin County Library System, and Carolyn Blatchley, Executive Director of the Cumberland County Library System. Together, they painted a vibrant picture of how libraries have become vital hubs of connection, learning, and community.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The bookmobile tradition in the United States is credited to a librarian who launched the first bookmobile in the early 20th century...she wanted to get books to rural communities. Her bookmobile was a horse-drawn wooden carrier that contained boxes of books. Then in 1912, horses were switched out and the first motorized bookmobiles were born. These bookmobiles went to rural and urban schools, as well as to the homes of senior communities.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for April 9th Publish Date:  April 9th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, April 9th and Happy Birthday to Hugh Heffner ***04.09.25 - BIRTHDAY – HUGH HEFFNER*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal ‘Bound to Work’: Marietta Eyes Relocation of Downtown Dumpsters Austell Dance Team's Trailer Containing Props, Set Pieces Stolen Before Competition Cobb Moves Toward Consolidating Commuter Bus Routes, Nixing Free Loop All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: MONSTER JAM 2025_FINAL STORY 1: ‘Bound to Work’: Marietta Eyes Relocation of Downtown Dumpsters After over a decade of debate, Marietta city officials are advancing plans to relocate three city-owned dumpsters near Marietta Square. Public Works Director Mark Rice presented two options, with the council favoring Option B, which would move the dumpsters into an enclosure in First Baptist Church’s parking lot and make Root Street one-way, adding nine parking spaces. The council voted unanimously to move the plan forward, with final traffic flow and parking details to be determined later. Mayor Tumlin and others expressed optimism about the long-awaited solution. STORY 2: Austell Dance Team's Trailer Containing Props, Set Pieces Stolen Before Competition Lisa’s Dance Spot (LDS) in Austell is seeking help to locate their stolen cargo trailer, taken on March 24. The trailer, loaded with props for their competitive dance team’s Michael Jackson-themed routine, was last seen via Flock cameras heading toward downtown Atlanta. Despite the theft, the team rebuilt their sets overnight with the help of dedicated “Prop Dads” and went on to win first place at a regional competition. Studio founder Lisa Pillow praised the team’s resilience and community support. Anyone with information is urged to contact Austell Police. STORY 3: Cobb Moves Toward Consolidating Commuter Bus Routes, Nixing Free Loop Cobb County is considering eliminating the free CobbLinc Green Circulator near The Battery and consolidating commuter routes with the Atlanta-region Transit Link Authority’s 484 Xpress Route. The Board of Commissioners voted 4-0 to begin public feedback on these changes, which aim to improve efficiency amid declining ridership. Adjustments to the Blue Circulator route are also proposed. Public hearings are set for April 22, with a final vote on May 13 after the District 2 commissioner seat is filled. CobbLinc’s 2023 operations cost $30.85 million, with funding from federal, county, and fare revenues. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.    Break: INGLES 5 STORY 4: Marietta to Consider Changes to Development at Former Harry’s Site The Marietta City Council is reviewing changes to the Marietta Crossing development, which includes 236 apartments and 39 townhomes. Developer Westplan Investors seeks to convert 10,000 square feet of retail space into either live/work units or full residential, citing weak retail demand. If approved, the project would add 12 apartments, totaling 248. Councilmembers are divided, with some favoring all-residential for safety and market reasons, while others believe residential could support retail. The council is also reviewing revised plans for the townhomes, with most being three stories and a few two stories. Final decisions are expected this week. STORY 5: YMCA of Metro Atlanta’s to Host 62nd Annual Good Friday Breakfast The YMCA of Metro Atlanta will host its 62nd Annual Good Friday Breakfast on April 18 at the Cobb Galleria Centre, celebrating its mission of fostering healthy spirit, mind, and body. Kevin Greiner, CEO of Gas South, will receive the Bransby Christian Leadership Award for his impactful community service and Gas South’s $1.3 million in support. Their contributions have enhanced YMCA programs like Adaptive Swim, benefiting over 400 participants, and STEAM Labs, inspiring creativity and education. The event unites over 800 attendees to honor these achievements and support the YMCA’s initiatives. Break: MONSTER JAM 2025_FINAL STORY 6: Driver’s License Deadline Approaching Starting May 7, U.S. travelers will need a REAL ID or other federally approved identification to board domestic flights. Georgia began issuing REAL ID-compliant licenses in 2012, but those who recently moved or haven’t renewed their license should check for a gold or black star in the upper right corner of their ID. If it’s missing, schedule an appointment with the Department of Driver Services to avoid long lines as the deadline approaches. REAL ID enhances security to combat terrorism and identity fraud, requiring an in-person application for first-time compliance. STORY 7: Cobb County Public Library Launches Perks Program The Cobb County Public Library launched the CCPL Perks Program during National Library Week, offering library cardholders a 10% discount at select Marietta Square businesses. Funded by the Georgia Public Library Service 2025 Marketing Grant, the program aims to boost library membership, support small businesses, and strengthen community ties. Initial partners include Marietta Proper, Hamp & Harry’s, Warm Hugs Bakery, Sweet Treats Ice Cream, and Bomb Babes. CCPL plans to expand the program countywide and encourages businesses to join.

Hi Libration Nation!

My guest this week is Britt Keup. Britt is a corporate girly by day, and an avid reader at night. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Britt created her Bookstagram account, what_britt_reads, to share her lifelong love of reading and be a part of a community that loves reading as much as she does.

It's National Library Week and to mark the occasion my guest on this episode of the Cranford Radio podcast is Kathy Cannarozzi, the director of the Cranford Public Library. We chat about a variety of topics including her first year at the library, the plans to expand the children's section and the CPL's role as a book sanctuary.

From the ACLU, this is At Liberty. I'm Kendall Ciesemier, your host. A month ago, we visited one of our favorite spots, the library. You know, at the ACLU, we love a good library. So much so that we even spent a recent Saturday night at the Brooklyn Public Library, along with some 5,000 others, for their annual enrichment event, Night in the Library. The theme for this year's event was Out of Darkness, and it included an all-night lineup of performances and conversations focused on what it means to face hardship head-on, and what we gain from confronting life's challenges with honesty, curiosity, and compassion, and understanding. When we were invited to host a conversation during the event, we knew immediately who we wanted to share with our neighbors in Brooklyn: Ian Manuel. You might remember Ian from our episode back in January when he joined us to talk about juvenile life without parole, solitary confinement, and restorative justice. Ian is an author, poet, activist, and absolute visionary, working to change our criminal legal system after facing 18 years in solitary confinement himself and 26 years in prison, beginning when he was only 14 years old. He knows firsthand what it's like to face darkness in life and move through it and he credits his practice of magical thinking for helping him.  This is the idea that we used as the basis for our Night in the Library conversation. And with it being both National Library Week and National Poetry Month, right now, I can't think of a better time to share it. So I invite you to cozy up with us between the bookshelves and enjoy the highlights from The Light of Magical Thinking, live from the Brooklyn Public Library.

This week on Seasoned, we're talking with people connected to our state's libraries who mix their work with a passion for food, drink and community. The downtown branch of the Hartford Public Library may be closed for renovations, but that hasn't stopped Andréa Hawkins and Doug Barber from opening up a coffee shop on the light-filled first floor of the library. They talk with us about how the shop fosters community. And, pairing wine with cheese and charcuterie is too obvious. What wine might pair with Virginia Woolf's Orlando? How about Madame Bovary or Anna Karenina? Shannon Barillari, of the Russell Library in Middletown, talks with us about how she pairs wine with books. Plus, how does Youth Services Librarian Kristen Slepecki get kids excited about the library's Teen Test Kitchen program? "I bribe them with food," she says. "Sugary treats are, for sure, the way to go." We talk with Kristen and Christine Michaud, the Durham Library's director, about the intrinsic value of the library's Cookbook Club, which is part book discussion, part pot luck. Also, some city and town libraries in our state have what's called a Library of Things. Home cooks, ask your librarian if you can borrow a Barbie cake pan, cookie cutters, an air fryer, rice cooker or pizza oven! Bridget Quinn, President and CEO and Head Librarian at the Hartford Public Library describes the awesomeness of the Library of Things. GUESTS: Andréa Hawkins and Doug Barber: Co-owners of Berkins on Main, the coffee shop on the first floor of the Hartford Public Library. They also own Berkins Blend Cafe in Glastonbury, Conn. Shannon Barillari: Head of Digital and Emerging Technologies, Russell Library, Middletown, Conn. Christine Michaud: Director of the Durham Public Library and the leader of the library's Cookbook Club. Kristen Slepecki: Youth Services and Teen Librarian at the Durham Public Library. She runs the Teen Test Kitchen program, where teenagers participate in fun taste tests and make edible experiments. Bridget Quinn: President and CEO, and Head Librarian, of the Hartford Public Library. Interested in the book and wine pairings Shannon Barallari suggests?
