In this podcast, the journalists from Little Rock Public Radio present an informative and entertaining news story about local Arkansas libraries and their relationship to the communities that they serve. These stories prompt reflection about the workings and purpose of libraries, and about the power- for better and for worse- of grassroots organizing in local government. This podcast was easy to listen to and presented in a skillful way. I would recommend it to all those interested in Arkansas, local news stories with national resonance, and American politics. I can’t wait to listen to the next episodes!

Absolutely incredible in-depth reporting and storytelling from Josie Lenora and Maggie Ryan. I have lived here my entire life hearing the rumors of these stories and seeing the news headlines, but in full context it is eye opening. I hope everyone can listen to what’s happening right in their home counties and state. So glad there is a reliable and researched source bringing attention to these topics.
