Library Impacts

I know that libraries have always had a fundamental impact, but I never quite thought I'd get to experience it. My earliest memory of a library was reading to dogs (Paws To Read) back when I was learning English. While the dogs didn't understand what I was saying, it was the first chapter of creating my story, and helped me get that first chapter started.

Later on, I became involved in the Service Learner program where I really got to see what libraries are and do for our communities. It wasn't until this time that I realized how much libraries do and help us learn. It becomes a safe space for everyone, creating diversity and inclusivity. After all, how can we learn and continue to grow if we don't venture from what we already know? Without libraries, things might've been a bit bland.

I have now joined the SDCL team and am glad to be part of this growing team. It has allowed me to help others that were once in the same shoes as I was and more. Libraries may change in the future but I know that their impact won't stop here. From checking out items to creating programs that let us grow, libraries are our golden treasure chest. Each a treasure to our own.

The San Diego County Encinitas Research Staff Is Like a Team of Two Hundred

Once I decided to write Two Spies in Time, I needed primary sources to research the heroes of the American Revolution. These librarian saints cheerfully found every book, PDF, and even a college thesis I needed to write the time-travel historical fiction book. They even found a 1782 British soldier's perspective, his first-person journal of the Revolutionary War, when Benedict Arnold attempted to betray West Point and George Washington. Over the two years I researched, they provided twenty sources that were key to being knowledgeable enough to write the novel, from asking the question: What if the British had won…
