Local Motion: Youth Librarians Have to Get Creative

Courtesy of Montrose Library

This week on Local Motion, KVNF's Gavin Dahl speaks with Delta County librarian Sarah Smith and Montrose County librarians Elizabeth Cook and Amy Dickinson about getting creative to serve kids this summer. Though libraries were forced to close for several months by the coronavirus pandemic, area libraries found ways to help kids keep busy, improve literacy, and stay connected. Also, don't miss Elizabeth Cook's suggested reading list for those motivated to learn more by the musical Hamilton.
