This is the introduction to Our Library. My name is Ruilin Zhu. I am a high school student from California, and the producer and host of this podcast.

In this first episode, I share the curiosity and experiences that inspired me to start a storytelling podcast exploring the extraordinary stories nestled within ordinary lives. My vision for Our Library is to create a collection of voices and memories that connects us all through the shared threads of humanity.

The next episode will air on August 22nd, 2025.
