I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. My dad took me to the public library for the first time when I was seven and I have been a lover of books ever since. I remember many bike rides to the library to check out books. I remember being excited whenever a Scholastic Book Fair came to school. I loved seeing the monthly Scholastic book flyer. Books were an important part of my childhood and it has grown just as I have grown.
