Wil is going to be the ongoing host of ‘Voice of American Libraries,’ a podcast series designed to raise awareness of the many challenges facing America’s librarians, both school and public. It will feature prominent figures in the library world discussing the most pressing issues of their profession. This is crucial in a time when the value of libraries is being questioned, funding is distributed with an eyedropper, and positions are being eliminated under the misguided notion that digital content alone will be sufficient.

The first episodes are currently in production and will release this fall.
