Love this so much! 🤩 Thank you, Rachel Reid!! 💛
The Annapolis Valley Regional Library (#AVRL) says Rachel Reid, author of the popular “Heated Rivalry” novel and subsequent television series, has donated $300,000, which they say is “one of the most significant private gifts” in their history.
“I credit my local library for being a huge part of the reason I’m a published author today ... "
She goes on to say "As essential community cornerstones, libraries provide free resources, information, assistance, & safe spaces to their residents ... governments should be prioritizing #libraries, and working to ensure these fundamental branches remain open for their communities.”

1/2 🧵
Here are some more photos from today's bike ride. It was supposed to be a different ride, but we hadn't gone far when I felt something was wrong with my bike and we turned back. Steven discovered that my drive belt (Gates carbon) had become partly dislocated and he had to repair it. (Thank you Steve! 💕. I couldn't have done it myself!) It was a lovely sunny day (about 8ºC) with little traffic and it felt so good, riding past the early spring cranberry bogs and apple orchards.#EllieKPosts #Cycling #biketooter #ebike @StevenKennard #NovaScotia #AnnapolisValley
