In our final episode of 2025, we sat down with five librarians working at small, rural libraries in the Parkland Regional Library System. Join them for a discussion about how small libraries are stronger together, and how working collaboratively can make a big impact.
Thank you to Lesley Moody (Olds), Maia Foster (Didsbury), Megan Ginther (Carstairs), Joy Willihnganz (Sundre), and Rebecca Smith (Cremona) for speaking with us. For more information, find their contact information at
