Libraries are popular with everyone, but they&#39;re especially beloved by kids and their families. They’re places where you can listen to stories, check out books, play with toys -- all for free! What&#39;s not to love? But, it wasn&#39;t so long ago that kids weren&#39;t welcome at all. In this episode, Joy and her cohost Lillike meet a very special wooden doll named Nicholas Knickerbocker, who helps tell the story of the country&#39;s first libraries that actually wanted kids there.
