Centerville, OH — The Washington-Centerville Public Library is excited to announce that it has received a $20,640 grant from the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) to purchase and install a professional-grade podcast recording booth for public use. The podcast booth project is a cooperative endeavor with Miami Valley Communications Council (MVCC).
This innovative addition will provide community members, educators, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and local organizations with access to a dedicated, well-equipped space for creating high-quality audio and video content. The booth will serve as a creative hub for storytelling, education, and outreach, amplifying voices that might otherwise go unheard.
“Our goal is to empower individuals and groups to share their stories, ideas, and expertise,” said Bill Menker, Patron Services Manager. “This resource will make professional-level content creation accessible to everyone in our community.”
The podcast booth will be available to the public later this year at the newly renovated Centerville Library. It will be located at the Library within the Creativity Commons area – our makerspace – and will feature state-of-the-art recording equipment and user-friendly technology, ensuring that both beginners and experienced creators can produce polished, engaging content. As with all of the equipment in our makerspace, there are always professionals available to help patrons get started on all of their creative projects.
