brought with her. Steve emailed her a copy of the inventory of books. She wanted to check which categories were covered.
    When the hour was up, Corrine gave her the keys and waved goodbye. 
    Liz logged into her Facebook account and posted a status message, “Calling for book donations! All types! Message me if you have any, and I will arrange for them to be picked up.”
    She logged into her Twitter account and posted the same message. 
    Within just ten minutes, she got pledges from a few friends over both media. She was ecstatic. Some said they wanted to clear old books since they were running out of space, while one said it was the perfect timing since he was moving apartments and didn’t want to transfer so many books.
    She was responding to someone’s comment in her Facebook status when a pop-up window appeared.
     
    bbbrian: where are you?
     
    Brian didn’t work Sundays so he was probably home. She quickly replied.
     
    Liz_hatton: at the library in stone homes :) first day of volunteering!
    bbbrian: you sound more excited on your first day volunteering than when you met alexander stone!
     
    Liz silently laughed. She called him the day she met Alex Stone for the school design meeting. Brian shrieked in excitement, and got mad at her for being next to indifferent.
     
    Liz_hatton: haha! sorry if i’m being such a geek! :P so how was your second date with dave last night? ;)
    bbbrian: oh liz, i think i’m in love!
    Liz_hatton: you know this after the second date?
    bbbrian: but we’ve known each other for years now. it’s like we just picked up from where we left off. and we’ve been talking every night!
    Liz_hatton: then i’m happy for you bri :) 
    bbbrian: thank you! 
    Liz_hatton: when can we meet him??
    bbbrian: soon! how’s jack?
    Liz_hatton: seeing him tonight. dinner with parents.
    bbbrian: his or your parents?
    Liz_hatton: my parents.
    bbbrian: hmm
    Liz_hatton: what’s that hmm?
    bbbrian: just glad you’re seeing each other
     
    Liz felt Brian meant something else, but talking about it over chat wasn’t the best way. She let it go for now.
     
    Liz_hatton: ok thanks. anyway gotta go. talk to you later?
    bbbrian: of course! ciao babe!
     
    Liz got more pledges over Facebook and Twitter to her delight. 
    She’ll go around the city next Saturday to collect the books. 
    When her social media accounts got quiet an hour later she looked up to see it was only Sam left in the library with her. 
    She decided to approach him. She took one of the seats in the same table where he was seated. She didn’t sit too close so as not to scare him. She lightly tapped him on his shoulder with her index finger.
    He turned to look at her curiously.
    “Hi Sam, I’m Liz,” she said smilingly. “I’m a friend of Corrine’s.”
    “Hi,” he said shyly. He had sandy brown hair, freckles on his face, and a gap between his two front teeth. He was adorable.
    “Sorry if I’m disturbing you from your reading. I just wanted to get to know you since I’ll be in this library a lot from now on,” she explained.  “So how old are you?” 
    “I’m eleven,” he said.
    “And looks like you’re already in book four,” Kayla said, peaking at the cover of the book he was holding.
    He smiled shyly. 
    “Okay, I’ll leave you to your reading,” she said, thinking she has learned enough from him for the day. She didn’t want to intimidate him.
    Liz looked through the shelves and picked up a couple books -- “A Wrinkle in Time” and “The Giver” --- two of her childhood favorites. She browsed through them to read her favorite scenes. 
    She was engrossed until her phone beeped to alert her that her time was up.
    She got up and approached Sam.
    “Sam, I’m sorry I have to close up,” she told him regretfully. But Sam obediently stood up and placed the book back into the shelf. 
    “I’ll see you again soon,” she said before he left.
    She watched him leave, just totally amazed by him. 
    He was a reminder
