Are we having a Love Libraries campaign?
I love libraries espically public ones ( hey a librarian) not too keen on academic really as I atmosphere in them too stressed ( but that might be only the other side of the counter).
I actually like the community centre feel of public libraries, you get a nice eccletic collection of people and books and even though not everything that happens in the library is directly book related ( we had a concert once, as well as weekly yoga, pilates and bridge playing sessions) you can usually get people talking about books or people who are normaly not intrested in reading to pick up a book.
Where else can you have a conversation with a random stranger about the current trends in popular books (" NOT a NOTHER vampire romance!, They were good when the y first started but enough is enough". Or gush about the latest greatest 'best ever ever ever ' kids' book . Or moan about the deminsishing interest in the classics, or the significance and symbolisim of farm machines in Tractor's in the Ukraine.
( all of which are conversations I sued to have on a semi daily basis)
