Back in 2017, I added a new feature to It’s All About the Book: Reader Profiles. These profiles feature primarily readers in the Rochester NY area and are presented in a question-and-answer format designed to tease out reasons why people read. I’ve linked to past profiles below and will be adding new ones, so if you’re interested in being profiled, message me at patricia.uttaro (@) libraryweb.org.
