The Power of Story and One Rural Library

“Turning A Page Inside A Rural One-Room Library,” by Jennifer Davidson, is the latest addition to the NPR series on libraries.  The story, about the Myrtle, MO (pop. 300) Public Library, is of interest for two reasons:  1. because it’s nice to see small rural libraries get a pat on the back, and 2. because it illustrates how effective a story can be in advocating for the library.  Lots of nice comments on the story are listed.  The story aired on Morning Edition and was posted October 21, 2013.
