OM DENNE EPISODE
Michelle Arbuckle sits down with recently retired library leader and past recipient of OLA’s W.J. Robertson Medallion for Public Librarian of the Year, Margie Singleton—an inspiring force in Canadian public libraries whose legacy continues to shape communities across Vaughan and beyond.
Over the course of her remarkable career, Margie led Vaughan Public Libraries through a period of bold growth and meaningful transformation. Her leadership has been especially transformative during moments of challenge as well. But beyond the milestones and achievements, Margie is perhaps best known for her unwavering commitment to mentorship, public service, and empowering the next generation of library professionals. Her passion and impact shines through this thoughtful, energizing episode about leadership, innovation, and the lasting power of libraries to connect and care for their communities.
Whether you’ve worked alongside Margie, been inspired by her work, or are simply dreaming big for your own library, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
