Libraries of Love Trudy Marshall, the Executive Director of Libraries Of Love is just back from her recent, annual 6-month stint in Africa and presented her latest adventures to us in her annual update to Marble Falls Daybreak Rotary on Tuesday morning, Sept 21st.

A passion lived outThe story starts with a young mother who works through several jobs only to find herself well into her 30's and wondering how to make a difference with her life.
