Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Libraries

Maintaining the ‘use it or lose it’ approach, this morning I visited the mobile library that for the time being is still calling at the village every three weeks, and yesterday spent my regular hour in the reading room of the Central Library in town; however my patronage is likely to be in vain as the local council, submerging under the tidal wave of austerity, is planning to scrap the van and even worse sell off the fine old building, relocating the service to the leisure centre where it will become a sad adjunct to a busy swimming pool instead of a purposeful centre for reading, research and quiet contemplation.
