When Andrew Carnegie gave money to launch public libraries, the idea made sense. What about today, though? In the age of the internet, who needs libraries? 

Stacie Gardner, a public school librarian in Greenville, SC, and Melinda Long, New York Times bestselling author of How I Became a Pirate, join the podcast to talk about the future of libraries.

Two of Melinda’s six books have reached number one on the New York Times bestseller lists and one has been translated into more than 13 languages. She recently released Art Smart, Science Detective: The Case of the Sliding Spaceship.
