In this episode, hosts Debbie Mikula and Carol Dawe sit down with Virginia DeMumbrum, director of the White Lake Community Library, to explore her inspiring journey from children’s librarian to community leader. Motivated by her children’s needs, Virginia has transformed the library into a hub of impactful programs, including evening storytimes, resources for non-English speakers, and community events like the beloved "one long table." She shares her vision for improving accessibility for individuals with disabilities, expanding library services, and integrating sustainable initiatives such as solar panels. Virginia also reflects on the power of community support within Michigan’s library system and the meaningful relationships she’s built with patrons over the years.
