"If you know a librarian, hug them." That’s the advice of Erin Downey who says librarians have been caught in the crossfire of politics this year and are having trouble struggling their way through a new political landscape.

Downey is the Boise School District Library consultant and she sat down with our Morning Edition host George Prentice to talk about how librarians are coping.

As host of Morning Edition, I'm the luckiest person I've ever known because I spend my days listening to smart, passionate, engaging people. It’s a public trust. I lean in to talk with actors, poets, writers and volunteers who make Idaho that much more special.
As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
