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.
