Library Radio Show

The Marshall Public Library has joined with ISU's KISU (91.1 FM) radio station to present The Marshall Public Library's Radio Program aired on the 2nd Monday of each month from 6-7 pm.

MPL's staff members Amy Campbell and Ann Mercaldo have been producing these programs for nearly a year now. The half hour format of information about library events, policies, programs, etc. evolved into a full hour program in April 2009. April was National Poetry Month, so Campbell recorded local poets reading their works. Mercaldo interviewed cowboy poet/humorist Baxter Black for the second half hour. Future programming will include more local poetry, interviews with JA Jance, Nancy Pearl,and Peter Westbrook.

We are very fortunate to have the support and encouragement from KISU staff for their expertise and generosity in helping us to make this idea become a reality.
Ann Mercaldo, Circulation Supervisor
