Hello! My name is Maria Schell Burden. When I was young, my mother took all five of us kids to the library every single week. It was without a doubt the highlight of the week in our family. We would each come home with a stack of books and my mother would read to us every night. We read aloud to each other in the family car on road trips (passing the book from person to person, each reading a chapter until the book was finished). And of course, we broke the rules and read under the covers after lights out until the flashlight quit working. My love of literature and books is all your fault, Mom...
