My Librarian: Julia
I grew up just down the street from my hometown library, so I find myself so lucky to have had books always available to me. My early reader years were spent consuming all the Sweet Valley Twins and Babysitter’s Club books I could. I later turned to mysteries—I just couldn’t believe that books could TRICK you! Those reading habits transferred to my adult life—I still love being tricked by mysteries and I love series books.
I believe that literacy can truly change lives. Books help us escape AND explore our lives. And books never need charged—what could be better?
In my free time, I love camping with my husband and two boys, cooking, playing board games, taking golf cart rides, exploring new places, and sipping a strong cup of coffee.
