Episode 6: Branch Out Mobile Library and Library Foundation News

– We speak with Jackie Kinsey, Outreach Coordinator for the SLO County library system. Jackie will explain the difference between a book mobile and a mobile library, describe the Library by Mail program for homebound adults, and highlight several other ways she’s helping bring the library to all of us through the Branch Out program.  

– Meet Jay Capell, the newest member of our SLO County Library Foundation Board of Directors. We’ll learn about his work with libraries when he was living in the greater Los Angeles area and why and how he wants to continue to strengthen people’s connection to the Public Library.

– Finally, our Library Foundation president Juliane McAdam highlights a special Library Foundation project that helped honor Frances Margaret Milne, the first librarian of the San Luis Obispo Library. The Library Foundation, SLO County Library staff, and other library supporters worked together to raise the funds to install a proper headstone for this important person in San Luis Obispo’s intellectual history.
