How the Marysville Public Library Saved My Life

[ccfinlay]

(This is the talk I gave to the Friends of the Marysville Public Library on February 15, 2011, at the Veterans Auditorium.)

I promised to tell the story of how the Marysville Public Library saved my life, but first I want to tell the story about how the Marysville Public Library nearly killed me.

Charlie...when you get home tonight, have Rae give you a huge hug for me. I don't know what else to say, except thank you for sharing this.

You're welcome. I've told bits and pieces of these stories over the years, but the invitation to speak in my hometown gave me an opportunity to pull it all together.

I want to say, "FABULOUS" and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, but...that just doesn't sound very nice, considering.

I'd feel worse if you didn't enjoy reading it...

A writer to the core. :)
