Words are powerful and have always fascinated me. I am a gluttonous consumer of information in many forms.
The Rappahannock Regional Library amazes me with the breadth of its offerings, and I engage them consistently. Recent updates to the facilities, digital, and traditional resources serve as a model of intellectual and recreational engagement for our dynamic community. I encourage everyone to utilize and support our libraries.
