Episode 42: Kim Hewitt (Director of the Watertown Free Public Library)
Meet Kim Hewitt! She's the Director of the Watertown Free Public Library. In this conversation we chat about her early experiences with books and libraries, her career journey from leading oral history projects to helping people search for unique news stories from the late 1800s, some behind the scenes on how the library processes materials and thinks about larger values such as access to information, privacy, and censorship, then we finish with some updates such as what's going on with the cafe, One Book One Watertown, and the patron survey that's wrapping up at the end of January.
Take the library survey that ends in January!
