​​​One of Erica's earliest memories was falling in love with the written word. 

Children's books were some of her first friends. 

When four, she recalls the pride printing her name on her first library card.

But then the  fear of possible rejection, when she ran out of space!

Finally, the absolute delight, choosing TEN free books to borrow!

  Heidi, My Friend Flicka and eight more. 

The euphoric experience of accessing imagination and independent thought​. 

Intangibles imprints of indelible Freedom.
