Leelynn (she/they) is a book blogger and bookstagrammer at @sometimeleelynnreads. She is an avid reader and supporter of diverse books. She has been talking about her favorite books and authors on Instagram for 10 years and doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Her love of reading was fostered at an early age, when her mom told her how much she loved reading and wanted to be just like her. She also participates in a few book clubs that continue to expand her reading, and is a huge library and indie bookstore supporter. Coming from the beautiful state of Hawaii, she is excited to continue to share her love of books and hopes to bring some new and amazing books to your radar.

We'll send out a list of all recommendations for those who register. We will also be recording our meetings and uploading them to the Ashland Public Library's YouTube Channel.
