Experience the B-side of Library Life

What is the B-side of library life all about? Here's a hint: it's not just books. Join Mieke and Leonides from the County Library as they flip that record and discuss the behind-the-scenes sights and sounds of the library. Special guests will drop in to chat about music, writing, community, gaming, and books.
