I have always joked that I was raised by wolves until I was 16 and then they turned me over to the librarians.
By the time I was sixteen I was a voracious reader. My mom took me to the Prestion Royal branch library to meet her librarian friend Fraces Bell. Frances and I hit it off right away because I was currently reading Graham Green's "Our Man in Havana" and Frances had done her Masters thesis on Graham Green. We agreed that there were much better spy books out there in libraries' stacks. She hired me on the spot to be a Page, the most wonderful job in the world. I spent the next four years having my mind sculpted by the amazing Dewey Decimal System. This opportunity was quite a stroke of good luck.
The library is where I met my very human family that I wasn't raised by and Frances Bell was a central part of those wonderful experiences.
