Episode 14 – To Great Heights (not by flying)

Your friendly neighborhood librarians are back at it, answering questions from listeners, like you, in episode 14 – To Great Heights (not by flying). In this episode, our librarians, Courtnei & Emily, with a little help from the librarian behind the screen, Jill, answer questions about the tallest building, how hearing works, and if humans will ever be able to fly!
