In this episode, we’re joined by Marie Pyko, CEO of the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library, to discuss the vital role the library plays in fostering community learning and connection.
Marie shares the Library's mission of being the center of community learning, emphasizing dignity, inclusion, and engagement for all, including those experiencing homelessness. With a staff of over 170, they continuously look for ways to connect with the community, ensuring that everyone feels welcome. We’ll explore the library’s unique approach as "the university for all" and its 2016 recognition as Library of the Year.
Join us as we dive into the power of libraries as bridge builders for community and the role they play in addressing local needs through empathy and innovation.
