About meI'm a grandmother to three kids who love to be read to. When I was little, I wanted to either be a nun, a librarian or an attorney. Law and books are still in the running...I volunteered with the Indiana Reading and Information Service (IRIS), which reads newspapers, periodicals and books over the radio for vision impaired listeners. I don't remember a time when I didn't love books. I dream of owning a small cluttered bookstore near my home that carries everything from Austen to Zane so I can introduce inner city youths to the world beyond their neighborhood.

About my libraryIt's everywhere, and it's eclectic!
