I love my local libraries and agree that they are about so much more than books nowdays. A few years ago, before I was online at home, I used to walk to our local library in Poole every day and use the computers to look for work and keep in contact with people on line. The library staff knew all the regulars and had a chat with everyone. For some people these were the only people they spoke to all day. The also checked on any of the older regulars if they didn't come in at thier regular time. Lovely people. I still frequent Poole and Bournemouth Libraries regularly and love seeing the range of people young and older accessing thier facilities.
