Long Live Leon County Public Library!

So, when we were little my mom would religiously take my sisters and I to the basement of the Northwood Mall where there was a movie theater and, more importantly, the Leon County Public Library. We would spend HOURS there, and always trucked home with several bags of books. That library is where I discovered a book called Fridays that changed my life, plus The Huntress comics, Andy Warhol’s photographs, and a random adult novel I picked off the shelf once in high school about a boy who had an affair with his nanny in Europe that has also obviously stayed in my mind.

The library has since moved to bigger and better quarters downtown, but my love for it hasn’t changed. Which is why I was so thrilled when they wanted to interview me as one of the first authors to appear on their website’s teen page.
