Hello from the Isle of Arran

Forgive my silence, I am on a lovely Scottish Island at the moment and access to the internet is erratic. Nevertheless, where there is a will there is a way. I have to share the following photograph with you, a very, very young reader and granddaughter of my gorgeous friend Jacquie. You go Juno.

Libraries have been on the news here in Britain, their importance to communities and individuals being highlighted. Goodness, who'd have thought, hey, with all there is to offer that the book still plays such a role. Whilst the plight of our own libraries in Zimbabwe is complex,  over here in this gilded place, the great British Isles libraries are being asked to innovate and diversify.

A piece of information that made me smile was that across these fair isles the good Scottish people are the most avid users of their libraries..wahay! Is this because the scots read more? The libraries are more interesting? or is it the cost and/or nature of the services. Anyways.

Here are a few pictures of this lovely place. Wish you were here.
