Why Does an International Border Go Through This Library?

52:02 |

About The Episode

Winter Olympics has us hooked, and today we spotlight the one sport the US has never won an Olympic medal in: biathlon. Susan Dunklee is a multi-Olympian biathlete and coach based in Vermont. She explains how to excel at both cross-country skiing and rifle shooting.

By listener request, we take a look at small town library that has an international border running right through the children's book collection.  The Haskell Free Library in Derby Line, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec faces new challenges under the Trump administration. Board chair Sylvie Boudreau tells us how.

And it's time for "The Secret Ingredient". Today chefs Irene Li and Yin Guan teach us how to appreciate artisan Chinese tea, as we kick off Lunar New Year. Guan is the founder of Broken Cup Teahouse in Kendall Square.
