In this episode of the Love Story podcast, host Ashley Green invites LeAnn Orth to discuss their shared love for libraries, books, and especially love stories in literature. Alongside podcast producer Abbey, who joins live in studio, the conversation meanders through their favorite reads, the role of library supporters, and humorous anecdotes from their lives. They share their passion for the community role of libraries, the ease of accessing diverse media through library apps like Libby, and their preferences for different genres, from romance to thrillers. The show also delves into Leanne's rich family background, her experiences as a breast cancer survivor, and her active involvement with the St. Cloud Friends of the Library. The episode rounds off with a look at some quirky ad reads and a reminder to support local libraries.
