Library Out Loud: SCLD is a podcast where we talk about all the things you can do and find at the library. We chat with community partners, authors, our librarians, and others in the community.

Our topics often cover how our libraries and community partners can help the communities we serve. We talk about books and other materials you can borrow, upcoming events you can attend, free services you can get at our libraries and from our partners, and during “Librarians Answer,” we discuss questions that our customers ask us.

Library Out Loud: SCLD is available in both audio and video formats. You can watch and listen on the following platforms as well as below.
