What's Your Sign?

Welcome to the tenth episode of the Owatonna Public Library’s 125th podcast spectacular!  You’ll hear from our super-awesome host, Christina; our “kool cat” co-host, Allison; Mark, our fearless leader and sound master; and Children's Services dinosaur-enthusiast, Katie!   We’re gearing up for Summer Reading, and we are READY for all the fun ahead! Katie joins us to share all the exciting Children’s Services programs coming this summer before we get wildly sidetracked talking about dinosaurs (naturally). Then we jump back into our exploration of the Dewey Decimal System with the 400s: Languages! We chat about our popular language-learning app Mango, communicating through sign language, and Daryl the dinosaur, who is really Spike.  As always, stay tuned to our Facebook, Instagram, and website for the latest from us!
