Be sure to check out this latest episode of The Librarian Linkover podcast with Lorene Kennard and the new director of the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, Denise Lyons.

This was a great interview! It’s nice to hear about the importance of crisis planning, budgeting, and IFLA and the importance of learning what libraries around the world are doing. It’s also important to understand what state libraries do for their states.

As a library consultant, I’m finding this podcast really helps me connect and keep up with what’s going on in the library and information science field. I look forward to hearing from more LIS professionals soon.
