In this episode of Around Town, Josh had the pleasure of sitting down with Brad Spurlock at the Lane Public Library for a great conversation about community and the importance of local history. From the role libraries play in bringing people together to stories about the community and personal experiences along the way, this episode is full of genuine conversation and hometown perspective. We always enjoy highlighting the people and places that help make Ohio communities stronger.
