Often, the magnitude of a player's named object(s) is based on their contributions and achievements in the sport. Unfortunately for Violet, there isn't much she has accomplished in her professional career - she's only an SMJHL player through this season, anyhow. But a small object doesn't have to mean only a small amount to a community. Instead of a singular tiny object, Violet decided to use a portion of her salary to help make Little Libraries in her hometown - areas where people can both take/borrow and contribute gently used or new books to share with their community. Too many have books on their shelves that sit exactly there for months -- some of which are never read again; this gives a chance for the community effectively to have a free exchange of books and improve literacy. Who knows -- maybe it inspires the next great writer or scientist, or at least continues sparking the flame that eventually motivates them to get there! It's a small thing (or things, I guess) that can make a significant difference for anyone who goes outside and sees it, plus it makes people feel good about donating to a good cause without the big to-do about donations, and can reach children in all socioeconomic regions.
