The Library is seen as a haven from a rather scary world. <br /><br />I came across one young boy in the Library on the Saturday who answered all the questions but still went on reading another book as I spoke. Afterwards when I asked him how come he knew so much he told me he spends every Saturday in the Library with his brother while his mother works. <br /><br />What impressed me too was the dedication and enthusiasm of the librarians whose libraries are sometimes quite poorly funded. It was a very refreshing visit.Dianne Hofmeyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222157214605257030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-78669324242545558102013-10-03T10:36:01.087+01:002013-10-03T10:36:01.087+01:00That's incredibly encouraging.
