From the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners

The construction team from Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioner’s (MBLC) Massachusetts Public Library Construction Program (MPLCP) has come up with a new way to connect with librarians and others interested in public library construction. The “Building Literacy: Public Library Construction” podcast explores all topics relevant to the entire construction process.

In the podcast, companies and firms are and will be featured, sharing their expertise and knowledge with library building project stakeholders in an effort to create a better, more informed experience. In no way does the featuring of these companies or firms on this podcast constitute an endorsement or a promotion of those companies or firms by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. These interviews are meant to serve as an educational resource only.

Future episodes will include everything from advocacy and fundraising to what to expect a year after your new and improved public library opens. Questions stemming from an existing episode, specific topic suggestions for other episodes, or interest in being interviewed for a mentorship and lessons learned episode, may be sent to MBLC Library Building Specialist Andrea Bunker at andrea.bunker@state.ma.us
