Thank you
I was in the John Harvard library in London Bridge this afternoon. I am not a member there and needed some assistance.
The gentleman librarian who looked after me was extraordinarly helpful and thoughtful. It was a real pleasure. Thank you

And thank YOU for thanking someone. Too often we forget and only report on the bad - the good needs to be said.
Which reminded me that I had not publicly thanked the young man at Kettering Public Library for purchasing (not personally, you understand) a complete set of The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan as so many of the volumes had "gone missing".

At the start of the school holidays we visited Amesbury public library in Wiltshire. We wanted to know if it was possible to walk from there to Stonehenge. The lady who we asked was friendly and wonderfully helpful - even telling us where we could leave our car for the day without incurring charges.
A good example of how we use libraries but one which won't show up in the "number of items borrowed" statistics.
