I talked to library users. And what they revealed shook me.
The conversation ignited unexpected controversy on LinkedIn and exposed a blind spot many libraries don’t realize they have. In this episode of The Library Marketing Show, I break down what I heard, why it matters, and how libraries can turn this uncomfortable insight into a powerful opportunity.
Plus, kudos go to a library reaching a new section of its community with book recommendations!
