It's our continuing series, "Cool Library People," where our staff (here at Ferndale) help introduce you, dear listener, to a variety of library workers based all around Michigan. It's a fun chance to hear different perspectives on the awesomeness of libraries, as well as get to know other institutions, as we do today, with the Berkley Public Library. We're chatting with one of its clerks, Lisabeth Posthuma, who notes her previous experience in teaching, as well as her life as a writer and published author! She also has nostalgic experience of working in a video store, which informed her recent novel Baby & Solo!
Let's hear about Lisabeth, let's here a bit about Baby & Solo and let's here all about the Berkley Public Library!

This week, we're spotlighting the Van Buren District Library with our guest, Elissa Zimmer! Elissa is currently Van Buren's Assistant Director. Still, she was once, not too long ago, a Youth Librarian here at Ferndale, which will explain why our hosts are so familiar with Elissa from the get-go. Van Buren District Library serves residents with seven branch libraries. Elissa has been the branch manager of the Webster Memorial Library for more than two years; she became VBDL's Assistant Director in May of this year. https://www.vbdl.org/
