To: “Life Lessons: Liz Hilliard,” page 15: Great article, Liz! I learned some things I never knew about you. I always thought of you as being very self-confident. It takes a lot of courage to reveal so much of your private life. I’m proud to be your cousin! Facebook comment from Mike Tiddy Love and happiness. What life is all about.

Jen Tota McGivney’s feature, “Community Building,” on plans for the new Main Library drew overwhelmingly positive reaction. “You wrote a stunningly beautiful article about libraries and the new main library and posed exactly the right question at the end. Thank you for such a thoughtful approach, and for your interest.” Email from Lee Keesler, CEO, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library “I can’t tell you strongly enough how wonderful this story is. Your writing is stellar and you absolutely captured the heart of our library. It was very moving and so honest. Thank you.” Tweet from @dancnbarefoot
