Let's Talk Libraries Sun, 17 May 2026 14:43:18 +1200 http://www.denisewilson.co.nz en-nz © 2026 Let's Talk Libraries yes 58df5bb4-843a-54ce-9306-c004454602ef Denise Wilson episodic false Kia  ora  and  hello  from  Aotearoa,  New  Zealand.  I'm Denise Wilson and I  love  libraries.  I'm  a  super  user  and  in  my  work  with  libraries for over two  decades,  I  see  amazing  impact  they  can  have  on  their  communities, regardless  of  the  type  and  size  of  library.  I  wanted  to  create  a  space  to  capture  the  ideas  of  some  of  the  amazing  people  I  meet  and  share  their  stories,  as  well  as  share  thoughts  and  challenges. How  are  people  navigating  this  rapidly  changing  environment?  What  impact  can  libraries  make  and  how  can  we  learn  from  each  other?  

So  this  is  the  space,  Let's  talk  libraries!  Please  subscribe  wherever  you  like  to  listen  to  your  podcasts.

Thank you!
