Ep. 59: Summer at the Library with Claire McElroy and Mary Vermillion

Summer at the Library includes so many activities and events that I had to bring WCLS Adult Events Coordinator Claire McElroy in to talk to myself and my boss, Mary Vermillion, about them. Listen for ways you can combine library joy and summer fun to make the most out of these long summer days.
