Mike Stephen talks with:

• American Library Association president Julie Todaro about the continued importance of libraries and the upcoming 2017 ALA Annual Conference here in Chicago;

• DNAinfo Chicago reporter Patty Wetli about the surprising (non)success rate of Chicago’s Michelin-rated restaurants; and

• The Chainlink president Yasmeen Schuller about her bicycle community website and the Mellow Chicago Bike Map put together by Streetsblog Chicago.

Meanwhile, we spin “Stay In Your Lane” —
a cool bike safety song (and video) by Chicago’s very own Rhymefest!

This week’s local music is provided by American Grizzly.
