Yul Kaseman

Yul Kaseman is an avid reader and staunch supporter of the public library system. Currently residing in New York City, her free time main indulgences are trips to the library, book club gatherings, and getting to fall into a good story.

In a book, the most important aspect for her is a great story told through a relatable protagonist. She loves a great variety of genres – fantasy, mystery, non-fiction, but storylines that involve the use of magic really take her to her childhood when she first became an avid reader. Some of her favorite authors include Jane Smiley, George RR Martin, Hilary Mantel, Sarah Addison Allen, Neil Gaiman, and Kate Atkinson. These writers stand out to Kaseman because of their ability to create stories that offer immersive experiences with compelling characters that the reader can relate to.

Nearly ninety-five percent of all the books that Yul Kaseman reads are those she picked up from the public library. Yul is a major advocate for the use of the public library system and she understands just how important these libraries are to the community. Public libraries can help revitalize struggling neighborhoods, create more sustainable communities, strengthen the bonds between community members, and much more. And simply it is a place for people to escape and find some peace. That is why Kaseman supports all authors who are supporters of the public library themselves.
