Just released yesterday, the new podcast for the Friends of the Medford Public Library. The purpose of the podcast is to highlight upcoming events and resources of the library. For example, the podcast was recorded in full at the library’s own podcasting studio! This is among the many examples of things you can do in our library.

Who are the Friends of the Medford Public Library? In short this is a group of members who ensure that the library has everything it needs to be a fully functioning library. They help supplement or pick up the tab for items that may not be funded in full. For more details check out their “About Us” page. The board is presided over by Julia Hendrix and frankly, this may be the most fun board in the city!

This episode the host is Bruce Patterson and his co-hosts for the inaugural run is Sam Sednek (Associate Director of the library) and Mouse (Coordinator of the Makerspace). They discuss in detail about the upcoming Maker Fair which will be August 24th. If you haven’t checked out this part of the library please do. There are also programs for kids and teens in this space, whether its creating stuffed ‘franken toys’ or working with materials or utilizing our 3D printer, this can all be done at the library, this is your resource!

If you are not a member of the Friends of the public library, please consider becoming one – https://friendsofmedfordlibrary.org/Membership
