It’s time for a trip down library lane! I’m beyond honored to bring you a truly fantastic chat for chapter forty-eight with Sam Helmick, the president-elect of the American Library Association. During our conversation, we covered key details about the American Library Association, the importance of libraries, how we as a society can support libraries, the issues surrounding book banning and censorship, the upcoming 2025 LibLearnX conference, and more. Sam was such a delight to have on the show, and I can’t thank them enough for taking time out of their busy schedule to join me. I hope you love listening to this chapter, and please get out there and support the libraries in your community.
