We LOVE the Library
Do you LOVE the public library? We do! Join us every other week for conversation and insight into the San Luis Obispo County public library system, a 14-branch system that serves the public from Nipomo to San Miguel. Featuring voices from inside and outside the SLO County public library system, this podcast is brought to you by the San Luis Obispo County Library Foundation, a volunteer-powered organization whose members serve as ambassadors for the library as well as wise investors of donations and bequests from the community.
