A portion of sales will be donated to the Library Foundation. “Libraries have always been special places for me,” Van Berkom said in a press release. “As a farm girl in Minnesota, I used to go to the local library and let books transport me to the exotic places I dreamed of.

When my sailing days were over, it was at the Olympic College’s Haselwood Library that I found a new home.”
