: About Me

As a college sophomore/junior/transfer/what-in-the-world-am-I from North Carolina, I'm more complex than a small "About Me" section on a website could ever explain, but given the necessity, I'll attempt to give a brief window into my life.

It is quite interesting that one of the most universally-visited locations in communities across America, the local library, is also one of the very last places thought about when financial donations are considered. Often, people think first about places like Goodwill, churches, or local non-profit charities – and although absolutely nothing is meant to be taken away by some of the marvelous things that those services manage to provide some of our neediest citizens, it is nevertheless crucial to also understand that libraries, especially in the budget crunch caused by the recession, ...
