Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s one of the few beneficiaries of today’s brutal economic climate: the public library. More people are using D.C. libraries than ever before, yet the city is being forced to scale back library services because of a budget shortfall. We’ll learn more about the recession’s impact, and hear more about the flurry of new construction being planned for the libraries in the next few years.
Guests
- Ginnie Cooper Chief Librarian, D.C. Public Library
