The Bookshelf Odyssey Podcast
Libraries are Hallowed Ground, with special guest Aaron Whitfield
Show Notes

 In today's episode, we're showing some love to our libraries. My guest is Aaron Whitfield and he is a library professional. I sit down to chat with him about his mission - to promote libraries as a necessary part of a community. They not only provide a place of learning, reading and other similar resources, but libraries can also provide a place of refuge, community, and acceptance. 

There's a lot of love for libraries in this episode, and Aaron shares some amazing stories and insights from his time working there.
