This week Tayla is joined by Elena and Angela, two members of the American Library Association’s 2024 Emerging Leaders cohort. They discuss the program and how they hope to influence library advocacy happening on behalf of the organization. They also discuss when to jump into long-running book series and watching podcasts on YouTube. During The Last Chapter they discuss: What author alive or dead would you like to meet and why?
