Well worth a listen....

The Reader’s feature writer, Hal Calbom, and its publisher Sue, were invited recently to discuss their work-in-progress Longview Centennial book, Empire of Trees for the Longview Public Library’s “Your Shelf or Mine” podcast.

Over the past year, I have been present for dozens of meetings in which Sue and Hal discussed “The Long View.” with CRR readers and advertisers, service clubs and prospective partners and sponsors of CRR’s Centennial project, They always do a good job outlining the plans, but, in my opinion, they have never told the story better than in this interview. I encourage everyone to listen to it; I guarantee it will be 44 minutes well spent.

Besides Empire of Trees , you may like another Longview history-relevant podast, this one based on Becky’s and Angela’s (Library staff) conversation with Cal Fowler and Abe Ott, representatives of the Longview ’23 Club.

You can access both podcasts via the longview100.org website and the Longview Public Library’s website, www.longviewlibrary.org. Simply click the icon (shown below), put your feet up and enjoy listening.
