LIBRARIES HAVE BEEN MY HAVEN: Ever since I was a little girl, when I learned to ride my bike to my local library near Guilford College, libraries have been my haven.
When I graduated from high school at Westtown School, the librarian told me that I checked out more books than any student, ever. I was so proud. That was better than any award.
Today, libraries host life-changing events that I've attended and participated in. My local library, Chapel Hill Public Library, is a wonderful place for getting lost in books.
If there's a book you love, request it at your local library. Ask them to add it to their collection so that everyone can enjoy it. As an author, there's no greater honor than seeing my book on a library's shelf.
My latest book, "A Light in the Tower: A New Reckoning with Mental Health in Higher Education," is out now from University Press of Kansas. You can buy it from alightinthetower.com or from any bookstore. Even better: At your local library.
