Every Friday i go to Parkview library with my little basket and come home infinately richer with 6 or so delicious books.
I love finding little book marks people have left in there, i once found a love letter, a piece of lavender, a print out on erectile difunction and many more slightly amusing things.
Parkview library is amazing.
They have all these little sections like the 'great books you might have missed' section, the reading corner(for adults!)
and the very best part?
Outside in their courtyard they have piles and piles of old books for R1 and R2 and R5 that you can scoop up and feel like the worlds luckiest girl because you found a honest to god 1950's copy of Sense and Sensibility.
In our modern era of gadgets and computers, i feel deeply sad that books are being forgotten, do yourselves a favour, go get a library book, go visit the musty books and interesting characters that sit around the library, you might find yourself drawn to a world of Alice in Wonderland and The Velveteen Rabbit.
