Welcome to Stump the Librarian, a podcast where two librarians from Kent District Library, Emily and Courtnei, with a little help from the librarian behind the curtain, Jill, answer questions from curious listeners. On our first episode we find the answers to why tigers have stripes, how robins care for their babies, and what the most popular dog breeds are around the world. Join us bi-weekly as we try to answer your curious questions and see if it’s possible to stump a librarian!
