Description

Benjamin was a gift from a friend, and he’s perfectly sized to fit in a pocket. The hedgehog is from my mom, and is one of at least a hundred hedgehogs I’ve been gifted over the years. I used to get paper bouquets for my grandmother, and she passed right before I came to the CPL—my first library job—so this is my way of keeping her memory with me; she was thrilled that I was going to library school and would have been excited that I landed here. -Kate
