When we think of a library, maybe we’re thinking of the place we take our kids for story time or a place to study and check out new titles.

Lately, librarians across the country are experiencing a lot more than shelving books.

Libraries are becoming the center of social problems, leading their employees to become burned out.

We’re breaking down what librarians are seeing and the changing role they’re taking on in our communities during this hour of All Sides.

Guests:

  • Lauren Comito, executive director,
  • Christianna Barnard, information services specialist,
  • Charlie Hansen, chief customer experience officer,
