[Michlib-l] Oral History - How to Advertise Service

[Andy Jackson]

Lorry--I haven't used the StoryCorps <https://storycorps.org/> app yet in
my new role as a teen librarian, but I had some success with it when I
taught high school English and did a unit that required an interview. The
website and app are both relatively easy to follow, and they even give
advice about how to do interviews.
