Author Julia Dunt spreads her community spirit while visiting Randie's Free Library.
Randie’s Free Library was blessed yesterday with a visit from the true embodiment and spirit of giving back. Based in Des Moines, author Julia Dunt is constantly working on her own material, but graciously makes time to support and help up and coming writers within the various writers’ groups and workshops she’s involved with. During my conversation with Julia I was blown away with her sense of helping others and her community spirit. Not only is Julia an author, but she’s also a librarian. Julia’s love of books and reading started at a very young age. The ‘Goosebumps’ series were a favorite of Julia’s when she was little, but her interest now in stories vary throughout all genres. Julia says that she especially enjoys stories that are a little ‘outside the box’. While speaking with Julia I just love the way her face lights up when she’s talking about certain books or stories. This world would be a much better place if we had a few more giving Angels like Julia.
It’s always a thrill when someone from my daughter Randie’s alma mater visits the Free Library. Julia’s husband Jamie is an alumni of Iowa State University. With a background in aeronautical engineering and being an avid outdoorsman, it was no surprise when Jamie mentioned that when he was growing up he was always curious about how things worked and shared memories of reading ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ as a kid.
And, in the spirit of giving, while visiting yesterday, Julia also generously donated several books to Randie’s Free Library. If you would like to learn more about author Julia Dunt’s books or her other literary projects go to https://www.juliadunt.com/books . – Randolph Randy Camp
