Libraries. What do they mean to you? Me, it’s been a while and when I need a change of scenery it is usually a coffee shop. I spent a week in March 2022 working from a library in Florida. Yeah, sun was shining and I still went almost every day to get work done. I recorded 3 podcasts while there as well. Today, I spoke with Sabrina Bernat, Executive Director of Winter Park Library. The timing couldn’t have been better. Winter Park is an Orlando suburb and opened a new library in December 2021 and what a doozy it is. Star architect designed it and together with its Civic Center it is an architectual beauty set next to a lake and park right near Park Avenue, the strip, of Winter Park. I ask a patron (Michael) of the library at the top of the podcast why he (23 year old college senior) went recently to the library and his is the story the library can tell every day. Providing information and the tools to do what you cannot do yourself. What is civic service it and its importance to the community is hard to measure. Thank you to Sabrina and team for welcoming me into the library and allowing me to experience what every patron or member can as well. 👇👇 Check out the links below as well as links to the podcast and more!
