'There's a Book Out There that Will Turn the Key'
"It's wonderful to share our love and appreciation of books and literature with people.

I always say there's a book out there that will turn the key to a lifelong love of reading, regardless of whether you're a child or an adult. The other reward is that every day is different. Just the chats you have with people--they love to share their memories or stories...."
