Great conversation with ALA President @edrabinski on how our Libraries Transforming Communities Grants are helping small and rural libraries engage with their communities in new ways and better serve people with disabilities.
"We want life full of joy. We want life full of freedom, and those are things thatwe can get from our local public libraries.” Excited to share this bonus episode on libraries and accessibility featuring @edrabinski @ALALibrary! open.spotify.com/episode/7CC…
