00:00:00.310 --> 00:00:04.060
We try to put ourselves in kind of the central
spot in a town.

2
00:00:04.060 --> 00:00:07.620
We’ve been in fifty states, hundreds and
hundreds of towns.

3
00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:17.550
And more often than not, it’s in front of
a library, a museum, or a local history center.

4
00:00:17.550 --> 00:00:20.609
So that’s where we mostly live.

5
00:00:20.609 --> 00:00:25.529
And you know we have our West Coast booth—our
West Coast operation is located in the Contemporary

6
00:00:25.529 --> 00:00:26.619
Jewish Museum.

7
00:00:26.619 --> 00:00:31.029
Other booths that we’ve operated have been
in, you know, Nashville Public Library, Milwaukee

8
00:00:31.029 --> 00:00:32.110
Public Library.

9
00:00:32.110 --> 00:00:36.730
So those are our most frequent collaborators
on StoryCorps.

10
00:00:36.730 --> 00:00:40.480
And it feels like home, you know, in libraries
and museums, you know, that’s where we belong.

11
00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:45.960
I mean to me, StoryCorps, libraries, museums,
public broadcasting, historical societies,

12
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:57.150
I mean these are the, you know, these are
the centers of life in towns and safe spaces

13
00:00:57.150 --> 00:01:02.880
and places where people can have civil conversations
with one another and learn and be safe.

14
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:08.030
And we’re proud to be, you know, become—we
hope we’re becoming part of that environment

15
00:01:08.030 --> 00:01:09.389
along with museums and libraries.
