Librarian (retired and reading more than ever). Tireless advocate of reading for sheer pleasure. Often found with nose stuck in a book.

Nisha Cantor is entitled, cranky, rude. I loved her at first sight. When her favorite pair of shoes go missing the consequences are spectacular. Stayed up late reading SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES by @jojomoyes. Expect high demand from patrons. #ewgc @PRHLibrary https://t.co/UvfH8s53x7
