Hello and happy summer to our listeners! We hope you are finding ways to enjoy your time outside.

In June HCLS hit the Exhibit floor at the 2022 ALA Conference with thousands of other library professionals. We hosted a roving podcast and enjoyed chatting with some of the dedicated vendors who help us bring top-quality education and services to our community, authors, publishers, and others! Listen in for what’s now, new, and next in libraries - then find it all on our Library website. You may even hear a few familiar voices from our staff. Check it out.
