+# Logger
+
+This package includes a custom logger for the project.
+
+Functions are exposed for logging messages easily; it is imperative that
+these functions are used throughout the project to maintain a standard in
+log messages.
+
+If necessary, the `logWriter` can be edited so that in addition to writing to
+stdout, it can also write to a file or send the logs to a server like
+Better Stack or New Relic.
