“When I was a little girl, I read all the time. Books gave me friends and transported me to new worlds. As an adult, I still love settling in for the night with a good book. Being an EVPL Honorary Librarian allows me to share my love of reading with the community. Whether you are flipping through a graphic novel, reading a space opera, or digging deep into the history of World War II — reading helps to fire the imagination and cultivate intellectual curiosity.”
