Love libraries
Many thanks to Sue Lund for her kind comment on the Love Libraries website.
Mr Grimsdyke and I have thought a lot over our strawberry milkshakes what we would have done if we have been given the bags full of money that have gone to the Knitting Agency for the "Love Libraries" project. As Miss Bo Peep OBE and Mr Woolly Jumper, the Minister, come out next week for another round of smiles and cheery zing, we thought it best to sit the whole thing out on the beach at Bloggington
"What I would have done" said Mr Grimsdyke, "is to see what we can learn (and copy) from the people in Bradwell. If we put our money and experience genuinely alongside their commitment and energy, we could make our libraries even more fantastic. I think I would have handed the management to the local people in the communities of each library- and Mrs Sideloader and Perkins would have been part of their team. We need to talk to her and her crew and see what they say. She could loosen her stays with a spanner," he said, which is a naval expression, I'm sure.
