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.”
