50 Years of Island Books: Kay Wilson
Kay Wilson worked for Island Books from 2000 until 2016. Now Kay and her husband live on Lummi Island, surrounded by a field with two big gardens and many fruit trees. She helps raise money for the local library by running a book sale in the summer, partly to help the community and partly to feed her need to be buried in books. Their three children and old friends are scattered around, and Kay says going to visit them is a lovely way to be out in the world.
Miriam: Can you tell me about how you came to work at Island Books? Who did you work with, and what was happening in the world then?
