Marge Pellegrino, opens a new window is a longtime customer and devoted friend of the Library. She is also a personal friend of interviewer, Lupita. In this audio interview, Marge and Lupita explore Marge's career—from its roots at the library to publishing her first book, to now teaching others how to become writers. They reminisce on meaningful projects Marge worked on, the impact those projects had on her community, as well as the awards and recognition she's received. They dive into the impacts different library programs have had on both of them, and how projects can feed into each other and grow naturally as the people taking part in them grow. They also talk about inspiration to be found in past work, and inspiration for futures projects and endeavors.
