WOON 1240 AM: Margaret McNulty Interview at St. John's Festival




Woonsocket, RI --- Woonsocket Harris Library Assistant Director Margaret McNulty spoke with Dave Richards from WOON 1240 AM Woonsocket Radio at the St. John's Romanian Orthodox festival. 

McNulty talked about the importance of the "My Woonsocket Life" oral history project, what questions they are asking respondents, and other pertinent information.

In May of 2017, the Woonsocket Harris Public Library won a state-wide contest sponsored by the Rhode Island Office of Innovation, and the Rhode Island State Library office of Information Services to come up with a way to come up with a creative way for public libraries to engage residents with technology and training in the digital age. 

The winning idea was to collect 200 video interviews from city residents to help the City of Woonsocket create its comprehensive plan for future planning and economic development. The Woonsocket Harris Public Library also received 40 iPads, funding to convert a study room into a sound-proof creation studio, and $40,000 from the Carnegie Corporation.
