What makes Heidi Reed with Ware Library a good neighbor?

Ever reminisced about the excitement that surged within you when, as a child, you first realized the world of adventures hidden within the pages of a book? That same spark ignites the conversation in our latest Good Neighbor podcast, where we're joined by Heidi Reed, the energetic director of Ware Library. Heidi takes us through her personal journey from a book-loving work-study student to the heart of a community treasure, where she's been shaping minds for 17 years. With her at the helm, the library has blossomed into a hub of endless resources, captivating storytelling, and a beacon for the curious and creative.
As we peel back the pages of Ware Library's story, Heidi introduces us to the fascinating transition from the Young Men’s Library Association’s private collection to a cornerstone of public service. Libraries are more than just repositories of books—they're vibrant centers for community engagement, digital access, and educational entertainment. From the laughter of children at Lego club to the concentration of adults in crafting programs, Ware Library is alive with the sound of a community growing together. Heidi's passion and energy are infectious, and through her words, we're invited to rediscover the local library as a place of connection, creativity, and shared knowledge.
