LIBRARIES WE LOVE Tricia Smith with Hannah Rose, Mirror Lake Community Library

Tricia Smith is the Outreach and Partnerships Coordinator for the St. Petersburg Library System, and was recently in studio with Alexis Baum talking about Kenwood's past, events and historic tours. Tricia will be hosting interviews highlighting librarians and library resources in the community. In this episode, she is joined by Hannah Rose, the Youth and Family Services Librarian at the Mirror Lake Community Library. Mirror Lake is a Carnegie library, and the main library was built in 1964 and renovated in 2009, and again in 2021.  They talk about the history and library programming.
HANNAH ROSE grew up in St. Petersburg, before spending a few years in Massachusetts. She spent time working in schools and now uses those skills to make book displays, bulletin boards, and lead story times at Mirror Lake, where she, as described by friends, has made arts and crafts a big portion of her job. 
TRICIA SMITH is originally from Auburn, Alabama, she received her Master's of Information Science from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville before moving to St. Pete in 2014. She can frequently be seen out in the community with the library's Bookmobile, making sure everyone in St. Pete has the chance to get their library card.
