Dear LibrariansWalking to my local library this week, I was brought up short by the sight of Raising Hare on temporary display in the window. I felt a lump in my throat to know that my book had entered the bloodstream of the great living network of libraries globally. I cannot remember a life before reading.

Q: Libraries are beloved for their sense of community. Do you remember a time when your library made you feel like a part of something bigger? A: I feel like I was raised by libraries! When I was a kid, my parents took me our local public library branch, marched me up to the front desk, and asked the librarians to help me pick out books because I was tearing through them too quickly for anyone to keep up with recommendations. After that, I always depended on public librarians and school librarians.

Dear Librarians,Like a lot of authors, I grew up at the library. One of my first memories is of quietly reading at my local library in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan—I guess I was around four—when a pair of ladies saw me and asked if I was really reading the words or just looking at the pictures. I was reading, I told them. They didn’t believe me and challenged me to read out loud to them to prove it. I did, they were impressed, and I felt vindicated.
