Host Lauren chats with Anne Conway, Director of the Museum of Work and Culture in Woonsocket. They talk about the Museum, the Winter Olympics, and how 20th century Quebecois textile workers kept their culture alive after immigrating to the U.S. In the Last Chapter they discuss: When you walk into a bookstore or a library, what's the first thing you look for?
