#libraries
Dr Sara Lodge LearNonsense I was at my local library at 9.25 am today. There were 3 of us. One was, I suspect, homeless. The doors opened at 9.30, there was free tea & an inviting, half-completed jigsaw. The warm embrace of books. Smiling staff. Never underestimate libraries. They are a kind of home.
