Jahlen asked Monica Murphy:

What do you think of librarians? Also, as a reader/author, how can you persuade others to read?

Monica Murphy I think librarians are awesome - my mother in law is a librarian! They were a huge influence on me as a kid because I loved to read and visited both the school library and county libraries as much as possible.

I hope that my talking about books can inspire others to read. I recommend books constantly. I volunteer in my son's class with their literature circles project - we read and discuss a book, meeting once a week. Seeing their enthusiasm for the story is awesome. Creating young readers is so important!
