Bailey Katsumata-Smith used to think reading was, in her words, an overrated waste of time.

“That all changed when I was 6 years old,” she said.

These days the East Grand Rapids Middle School eighth-grader visits the East Grand Rapids branch at least twice a week, and reading continues to be a major part of her life. She shares her literary interests on Goodreads and has reviewed books for KDL’s blog and for her school. Read Bailey’s full library story here.
