Cataloged Conversations Cataloged Conversations by the Kendallville Public Library

Beth Munk, Leah Dresser, and Jenna Anderson chat about how the pandemic has changed library service at the Kendallville Public Library, and what the future may hold. They also talk about a few things they probably shouldn't...as always.

On July 9, 2020, Noble New Way, led by Noble County Economic Development Marketing Director Lori Gagen, asked two of the region's foremost voices on jobs and our local business community to talk about the outlook for Noble County's workforce in light of COVID-19. Rick Farrant, Director of Communications at Northeast Indiana Works and Gary Gatman, Executive Director of the Noble County Economic Development Corporation share the latest information for individuals and share examples of how asset-based community development is helping Noble County thrive.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has changed the world as we know it. We watch the governor’s daily briefing and the presidential addresses, but Noble New Way wanted to take a closer look what’s going on here at home in Noble County. Angie Kidd of Common Grace Ministries led this forum recorded on May 11, 2020 online via Zoom. In it, we hear from those on the front lines. Dr. Terry Gaff, Noble County’s Health Officer gives us a current update on the cases of COVID-19 in our community. Then we hear from Audrey Paul and Carrie Baker from Parkview Noble Hospital on their experiences in recent weeks. Plus, Jamie Walker from Lutheran Life Villages, one of the hardest hit facilities in the county, shares what it’s like to battle the virus first hand. But this forum isn’t just about the physical and mental stress and shortages this epidemic has caused, but as we focus on Asset-Based Community Development, we also take a look at the great things that have been brought to light in Noble County.

Where can you be a giant pink flamingo with bagpipes? Dungeons and Dragons, of course! In this episode of Cataloged Conversations, we chat about the game, how it's grown and why it's so much fun.

The Community Learning Center is a new gem in the heart of Kendallville that's poised to make a difference in the lives of individuals and strengthen the community. Kendallville Public Library Support Services Manager Jenna Anderson talked with CLC Executive Director Julia Tipton on the progress that's been made so far, and what's to come.
