In 17 years of working in books I have never been to a single book club meeting. Pretty sure that merits some kind of reward.

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Letters from Wendell

Happy 91st birthday to Wendell Berry, who once wrote to me when I was feeling very alone and homesick for Kentucky:

"Feeling far from home, I think, is probably a sign of good health."
