I'll be taking back the book that I reserved this week and having a civilised and solitary browse before going with suns over half-term next week. SAVE OUR LIBRARIES! Us too Scarlet- Jo still loves the Thursday afternoon story time, and Matt hangs around cool on the edges, but I know he listens too! And woe betide me if I miss one of the seasonally themed stories and craft sessions- all free! Libraries here are starting to lend Kindles and e-books and all have computers and wi-fi for FREE use.magsmcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278148796772565928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-12066585964069545212012-02-06T21:21:14.488+00:002012-02-06T21:21:14.488+00:00I went to the library last week - I borrowed 2 cra...I went to the library last week - I borrowed 2 crafting books. When the girls were young we used to go to storytelling sessions at the library. K in particular loved them - she has always loved books, stories and language - no wonder she's now an English teacher!Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-17419923117188941342012-02-06T19:30:04.698+00:002012-02-06T19:30:04.698+00:00We have more books at home than our village librar...We have more books at home than our village library does.

I feel it is important that computers are provided - for the sake of the less affluent pupils I teach who do not have access at home, yet are constantly set homework which MUST be done on a PC.<br /><br />There has to be a happy balance between bookshelves and other activities, surely?Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-75155379546412939542012-02-06T18:50:49.731+00:002012-02-06T18:50:49.731+00:00This sounds like a busy place, serving the whole c...This sounds like a busy place, serving the whole community- you are one of the blessed ones!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-43852227225020944422012-02-06T18:14:01.402+00:002012-02-06T18:14:01.402+00:00Do you think that computers and Kindles are taking...Do you think that computers and Kindles are taking the place of books?Elizabethdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405703727112759947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-5488837819265258872012-02-06T17:45:52.880+00:002012-02-06T17:45:52.880+00:00I wish my local library was still a library.

The book shelves had been reduced and what books were there were old, dirty and falling apart. I love books and long for the 'quiet please' library to return. It's just not the same experience going there now, so my last visit was a couple of years ago and I think that was to use the photocopier. :-(Doohiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047086408214580177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-90487303063169041712012-02-06T16:44:29.496+00:002012-02-06T16:44:29.496+00:00I love my library!I borrow on average 20 books per...I love my library!I borrow on average 20 books per month,. I attend one of the book clubs there and craft lessons. I have learnt felting, card making, scrapbooking, jewellery making, ceramic painting, and sugar craft at my library - all free courses. This year's choices include guitar lessons and watercolours. There are the usual kids groups, a family history group and IT lessons & access. Consumer advce and counselling is also based there. <br />Fab!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832021443447502646noreply@blogger.com
