We gave them $100. They made someone’s day. 9 stories
I don’t know if we all get our love of words from Bobby, or if the pleasure we derive from ink and paper can be traced farther back on the family tree. But ever since I was a little girl, I knew that Bobby took great pride in her family and great pride in anything we wrote.
Her kitchen is covered in letters from her grandchildren, proudly displayed for all to see. And there are a lot of people passing through Bobby’s house.
You see, they come for the books.
Bobby opened her own library around six years ago, after writing an article about a similar library for Tribune magazine. If they can do it, so can I, thought Bobby, and the library was born. In a single room in her home, close to ten bookcases house the vast collection of books people have given her over the years.
Bobby believes in doing her part to stop people from being exposed to inappropriate books. To do that successfully, she makes sure she has a wide range of books that would appeal to a great variety of readers.
