Disgraceful but not surprising.

Saw Grease 2 in The Stella today. They're doing a whole '80s season.

For World Poetry Day, one of our favourite poems (about libraries and libraries)
Nikki Giovanni's 'My First Memory (about Librarians) from the 2008 publication Acolytes. #worldpoetryday #poetry

My First Memory (of Librarians)
This is my first memory:
A big room with heavy wooden tables that sat on a creaky
wood floor
A line of green shades—bankers’ lights—down the center
Heavy oak chairs that were too low or maybe I was simply
too short
For me to sit in and read
So my first book was always big

In the foyer up four steps a semi-circle desk presided
To the left side the card catalogue
On the right newspapers draped over what looked like
a quilt rack
Magazines face out from the wall

The welcoming smile of my librarian
The anticipation in my heart
All those books—another world—just waiting
At my fingertips.
