It built a new facility to great fanfare a few years ago - a really beautiful building - but it houses a collection of tattered old romances and pot-boilers, some military history, some political biography, and very little else. It seems to have inherited its entire stock from some little country library down the road. It never seems to get anything new, except for recent releases (of the same general ilk) which rotate through for a couple of weeks on their way to somewhere else. Whatever you were looking for at the library, BG, I'd give odds you wouldn't find it here. People use our libabry mostly for computer access and DVD rentals - there's barely even any loafing going on. On the bright side, there is a good children's collection. It's also good that the library sits quite close to one of the poor sections of town, giving easy access to people who can't afford a bookstore.Bozonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039707457010939097.post-18337301077316275402010-02-03T02:20:30.314-06:002010-02-03T02:20:30.314-06:00ps: I meant Saturdayps: I meant Saturdaystella pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039707457010939097.post-3309448243820228232010-02-03T02:19:44.951-06:002010-02-03T02:19:44.951-06:00I really enjoy libraries, of all kinds! This sound...I really enjoy libraries, of all kinds! This sounds like a great place to be, with its mixture of people. (here it is rather similar, but the homeless are few, the asylum seeking people & immigrants from the middle east/africa are many) When my children was younger we used to visit the main communal library each Friday, and often delaying our breakfast to the library cafe. It was really a nice period of life!stella pnoreply@blogger.com
