A new PaLAunchPod episode dropped on March 15. In this episode, host Heidi Abbey Moyer talks with Penny Talbert, Executive Director of the Ephrata Public Library.

Penny Talbert

Talbert discusses her philosophy of embracing craziness and being fearless in forging and strengthening community connections. While living the mission of the Ephrata Public Library (and seemingly working on the budget with an abacus and a ouija board),

Talbert has built the library into a community hub, complete with post office, bookstore, skate park and forthcoming social services center. Listen today as the ‘Guerilla Librarian’ describes how to build connections and engage advocates, and defines the role of the librarian as one limited only by the imagination.
