I grew up in and around libraries. My grandparents ran a Free Library, and my Mom was a library trustee.
Libraries are both a necessity and a luxury, and are usually given short shrift as both.
I won the Smith Book Award my junior year in high school, and Gift From the Sea as the book. In any case, I was inspired to read her published diaries, which were as fascinating. It felt intrusive and mean, and I didn't appreciate having her hung out to dry like that.
