Your Hometown Podcast Woodland Park: A Gateway to Imagination and Opportunity

Reading is more than just a fundamental skill, it's a gateway to opportunity, imagination, and lifelong learning. In a world increasingly shaped by digital media and fast-paced communication, the ability to read, understand, and critically engage with information is more important than ever. Linda Hoffman understands the transformative power of reading on a deeply personal and professional level. As the director of the Alfred Baumann Public Library, Linda has been a passionate advocate for literacy, learning, and community engagement. Under her leadership, the library has not only expanded its collection and programming but also deepened its impact as a vibrant, inclusive hub for readers of all ages.

Also in this episode, Pamela Martorana, a licensed professional counselor and founder of Kinderkamack Counseling, talks about the importance of gratitude, and Darien Eletto, chief clinical officer of Behavioral Health Services at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, discusses why some depression doesn’t respond to standard treatment and what new options are offering hope.
