Connecting creative people, places, and ideas to grow more engaged communities.
Hello, I’m Faye—a professional librarian, writer-editor, and creativity gardener.
I help creative people connect, grow, and find a deeper level of engagement with the community organizations that value their work.
I founded Library of Care after rising from the ashes of burnout and rediscovering the transformative power of art + healing communities.
My mission is to connect values-driven creative people and organizations, so that together, they can grow more engaged communities that nourish both people, places, and ideas.
I’m passionate about serving authors, artists, makers, healers, and other care-centered solopreneurs or small businesses, alongside libraries, bookstores, cultural nonprofits, professional associations, and the publishing community.
