 Hi, I'm Tim Rogers. I'm the library director here in Jacksonville and my favorite book is The Lord of the Rings. I've read it when I was an exchange student in Finland and it's a story of adventure, excitement, heroes and villains, people of all shapes and sizes doing crazy things. To me it was a book that really spoke especially as a young person. It was something that spoke to me about reaching potential, about trying to be a hero when you feel very small. I think books can do that, reading can do that. It can help people experience things that they wouldn't normally have the opportunity to experience.
