The Missing Link with Kathryn Wisinger

Join Kosta and his guest: Kathryn Wisinger, Director of the Putnam County Library.

In this episode: In this community we’re lucky to have the partnership of local government, education, public resources like the library, non-profit resources like Plenty Book Store and countless businesses and community members working to improve the “book culture” as our friend Lisa Uhrik would say. *However, in Putnam County only 31% of elementary students tested at or above the proficient level for reading. What’s the missing link? As a kid I loved going to the library, now my kids love going to the library, but a lot has changed in the past 20 years. What can parents expect the Putnam County Library of 2024 to have it didn’t before? What are a few small changes we can make as parents, and adults in general to reintegrate reading into our lives and help create that “book culture” for the people around us?
