In the age of Google and e-book readers, what does the future hold for bookstores and libraries? How can they adapt to patrons' needs?
We talk to local bookstore owners and librarians about how their industries are surviving and thriving. We also explore industry trends and emerging technology and spaces, which speak to how bookstores and libraries have become centers for community and collaboration. Our guests:
- John Cieslinski, co-owner of Books, ETC. in Macedon
- Bethany Haswell, co-owner of Stomping Grounds bookstore in Geneva
- Matt Krueger, teen services librarian at the Irondequoit Public Library
- Cassie Guthrie, director of the Greece Public Library
