Elodie's Library of Second Chances

by Rebecca Raisin

Reading is my happy place, my go-to where I can forget the world and relax no matter how short a time I have to get lost in the pages.

I couldn't have said it better.

Libraries are the lifeblood of communities, a safe space where residents converge, and literature is free for one and all.

Our libraries are under attack by those who are banning books and censoring our choices in reading. This is a dangerous path!

it’s the power of words and how they can save you when you most need it.

You begin to act a certain way because it’s expected of you, you know? In a way, I’m playing a part that they’ve created.
