Join Violet Baron from Long Island Traditions for a virtual presentation about their collection of cell phone audio tours. The tours share the stories of varied Long Island locations, with topics such as the labor movement, maritime culture, and civil rights. In this presentation, attendees will experience the sights and sounds of an abbreviated tour, as a way for librarians to learn about these tours as resources for programs and patrons.

Violet Baron is the newly appointed Executive Director of Long Island Traditions. She holds dual M.A. degrees in Folklore and Media Studies from Indiana University. With a background in multimedia reporting and public radio production, Violet specializes in community engagement and local storytelling with cultural context. She previously worked for Traditional Arts Indiana and The Association for Cultural Equity - Alan Lomax Archive, where she researched, documented, and produced podcasts about the folk and traditional arts of diverse communities both locally and internationally. Violet is dedicated to preserving and sharing cultural heritage, both within its communities of origin and to the wider world. To that end, she has contributed projects to the Indiana Arts and Humanities Council and the American Folklore Society.
