Charlene I.

Libraries have always been an important part of my life. I've been an avid reader ever since I learned to read and without libraries, I wouldn't have been able to read as many books - who has the money or room for every wonderful book? Even when I lived away from Jackson County, getting a library card was a top priority. Having our wonderful library here in Sylva is such a blessing, because I can not imagine a life without books. Best of all, I now work at this beautiful library - proof that dreams do come true!
