The Library Book
The Library Book | Rebecca Gray (Publishing editor)
10 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 14 to read
Whether brand new or steeped in history, real or imagined, libraries feature in everyone's lives. In memoirs, essays and stories that are funny, moving, visionary or insightful, twenty-three famous writers celebrate these places where minds open and the world expands. Public libraries are lifelines, to practical information as well as to the imagination, but funding is under threat all over the country.

A collection of chapters written by various authors describing their love of libraries. Several of the descriptions made me laugh out loud, because I so related!

TheSpineView A woodpecker! I hear them in the trees behind my house on occasion. Every once in a while they will get some sunflower seeds from my feeder. Love to see them!❤ 4y
Crazeedi @Megabooks she's not very little for a bird! But she's gorgeous isnt sje? 4y
Crazeedi @TheSpineView yes they come to the seeds sometimes too, they usually are not around the feeder this late, probably nesting and need extra energy 4y

An absolute delight - various authors, writers, and famous people wrote pieces for The Reading Agency, à British organisation that works "towards a world where everyone is reading their way to a better life." Most pieces in the book were written at a time when libraries were being threatened with closure, and many essays both remember what public libraries have meant to them & rail against the stupidity of closing libraries. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

A bookshelf is as particular to its owner as are his or her clothes; a personality is stamped on a library just as a shoe is shaped by the foot.

No two persons ever read the same book.

So true! A book you love someone else will dislike and vice versa. Read what you love 💕

Megabooks So true! 6y
Crazeedi Truth! You are really aware of it when sharing posts and seeing other littens likes and dislikes, it's so fun! 6y

Enjoying this collection of library love stories while eating a donut over a snoozing toddler worn out from a walk in the woods. #mommyreads #librarylove #booksandcoffee
