Guest:

Mindy Laird is the Executive Director of the Dripping Springs Library, and if you think libraries are just quiet rooms full of dusty books and people shooshing you, she’s here to politely prove you wrong. Mindy oversees one of the busiest community hubs in town. Where story time, technology, research, and a surprising amount of local energy all come together under one roof. In a fast-growing Hill Country town, she’s the one making sure the library keeps up with the pace while still keeping the spirit of a place where curiosity, conversation, and community are always welcome. Smart, sharp, and not afraid to challenge the idea of what a modern library can be, Mindy is helping write the next chapter for The Dripping Springs Library.

Monologue:

  • Loud Kids Are Welcome!
  • Star Awards
  • Marathon Cheaters
  • Books That Change Lives

Broadcasting straight outta Dripping Springs, Steve Mallett and Michelle Lewis serve up unfiltered, unforgettable conversations with the most interesting folks you've never heard of-yet.

It’s like pulling up a chair at your favorite local bar, where the banter is real, the guests are bold, and nobody’s afraid to speak their mind. You’ll laugh, you’ll think, and you just might see your own story in theirs. New episodes every week...because ordinary people make the best damn stories.
