Our local main town library ...Yes hello to you too!<br />Our local main town library has been rehomed this year due to the original building being proposed to be redeveloped.With the current cuts I wonder if the proposed rebuild will go ahead. <br />Frankly, I would just fix the roof and make the place sound, its a great building dosn't need much doing to it.<br />Was involved in the local campaign to keep a main library open.Thankfully a local group of offices became available and the place is always busy when I visit. Long live the library I say.Writers as well.fizzycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417554474293773804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326835832552443337.post-17664004384509640362010-11-10T07:53:24.345-08:002010-11-10T07:53:24.345-08:00I think it's important to support books (and a...I think it's important to support books (and authors!!) by buying books as well as borrowing from libraries, so it's all good, Pat.

It's a paradox of modern life that for all the technology, which is supposed to do a lot of work for us, we are all busier than ever.Leigh Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080517449825380527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326835832552443337.post-12543401053891184022010-11-07T11:08:25.301-08:002010-11-07T11:08:25.301-08:00An interesting blog!

I think the sliding popularity of libraries may also be due to people's busy lives, I know I reserve titles online, then run in and run out of my local library, sandwiching it in between work, writing, reading...and the rest!Kim Slaterhttp://www.kimslater.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326835832552443337.post-71601212535679646852010-11-05T16:18:30.014-07:002010-11-05T16:18:30.014-07:00Hi fizzycat - glad you agree and good to hear from...Hi fizzycat - glad you agree and good to hear from you my old blogbuddy.Leigh Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080517449825380527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326835832552443337.post-41453112570551533782010-11-05T10:15:03.388-07:002010-11-05T10:15:03.388-07:00Hear hear to everything mentioned.Very well put.Hear hear to everything mentioned.Very well put.fizzycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417554474293773804noreply@blogger.com
