Middle Country Public Library Podcast

Discover two powerful, free resources available through the library that open doors to rich history and endless reading possibilities!

First, Sara dives into a comprehensive digital collection exploring American Indian history—featuring primary sources, landmark treaties, court cases, tribal flags, maps, timelines, videos, slideshows, and in-depth articles organized by tribe, culture area, subject, and era. 

Then, Nicole has the latest news on Libby, the go-to app for borrowing e-books, audiobooks, and more. Learn about recent updates to checkout and hold limits, smart etiquette tips to reduce wait times (like returning early or sampling first), the power of the "Notify Me" feature for new titles. Plus details on a brand-new bonus: free access to Ground News right inside the app—a tool that lets you compare coverage across the spectrum, see media bias breakdowns, and read diverse perspectives on the same story without algorithmic bubbles.
