Welcome to Middletown Strong's first ever in-the-field interview! As Middletown Pride partners, we wanted to share the experience of being at this joyful live event. You'll feel like you're standing beside us on Main Street as you listen to Shannon and Christy talk banned books with Olivia Scully and Mary Richardson. Olivia is the Help Desk Coordinator for Bibliomation Inc. and Co-chair of the CT Library Association's Legislative Committee. Mary is the Teen Services Librarian at Simsbury Public Library and the Co-Chair for CT Library Association's Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (JEDI). You'll also enjoy a behind-the-scenes chat between Stephanie, Shannon, Christy, and Ayanna as they talk about how Pride looks from the library worker perspective; they'll share their joys, foibles, and triumphs from the planning stages through PrideFest. Thanks for listening!
