Cara Maurizi of Urbana and her daughters, Elin Skottene, 6, (near mom) and Sofie Skottene, 5, (on the steps), visit the Champaign Public Library in Champaign on Friday.
Cara Maurizi's daughter Elin is almost 7 with a serious book habit, multiple volumes of cat and dog books on every trip to the library.
Since Maurizi left the steady paycheck of teaching to become an actress, the Urbana mother has been spending less time in book stores and more in libraries. Usually it's the Urbana Free Library, but the family also enjoys Champaign's spanking-new facility, and that's where they were Friday.
