Episode 9: North County Libraries and a Local Author for Black History Month

– We travel the “quail trail” to visit two small but mighty libraries in North County: Shandon Library and Creston Library. Learn more about the unique Tool Library in Shandon from Joey and hear from Cookie in Creston about what it’s been like to run the public library for over 48 years.

– Also, for Black History Month part 1, we speak with local author John King about his background, his writing process, and his love for the public library. Learn more about John King.
