On The Same Page is a podcast from the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library to keep you in the loop and on the same page about what’s happening at your library.
In this episode we talk about some poetry collections we are reading and hear a recording of a panel from March that took place at Northside Library to discuss leadership and nonviolent conflict resolution.
Turns out Abby was wrong and Erica was correct about Tax Day. It is April 17 this year, just in case you were curious.
Erica and Abby are both reading (even more) poetry for National Poetry Month.
