A special treat: Circulating Ideas recently conducted an interview with Dr. Wayne A. Wiegand, often referred to as the Dean of American Library Historians, available as a podcast and a transcript at: https://circulatingideas.com/2022/09/20/227-wayne-wiegand/
The synopsis from Circulating Ideas is “Steve chats with library historian Wayne Wiegand about how he came to the library profession, how to view historical figures and actions honestly (warts and all), the history of American libraries, the life and times of Melvil Dewey, and the vital places coffee and cats hold in American library history.”
