GUESTS:
- P.R. Lockhart: Economic Development Reporter, CT Mirror
- Bonnie Solberg: Director of Public Services, Hartford Public Library
- Bridget Quinn: President and Chief Executive Officer, Hartford Public Library
- Dr. Elena Forzani: director of the Literacy Education and Reading Education programs and an assistant professor, Boston University
