Thanks for bringing those library stories...Hi Marg,<br />Thanks for bringing those library stories to my attention. I think it's just awful for any library to be threatened with closure. Just awful. The library members form of protest is just brilliant. I hope it made an impact on the decision. <br /><br />I'm finding the lists of books from everyone who linked up with Library Loot to be so interesting this week. I'm curious about the Murakami one and may just pick it up for my next loot. <br /><br />Enjoy!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-27905907355847412772011-01-20T09:11:35.102+11:002011-01-20T09:11:35.102+11:00The only book I've read from your loot is Norw...The only book I've read from your loot is Norwegian Wood.

This was the one that was recommended to me, so that is the one that I have gone with!<br /><br />Zibilee, the first one is an important foundation, but not the best of the books so far. I would read it, and bear in mind that they do get better.<br /><br />Misfit, I really think you would like the Angelique books. They are definitely sagas!<br /><br />Kylie, I wonder if the staff would have minded so much seeing as the community would not only be fighting for the library to stay open but for their jobs as well.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-45275132864198632352011-01-20T06:46:56.899+11:002011-01-20T06:46:56.899+11:00Readng about libraries being in such dire straits ...Readng about libraries being in such dire straits in other parts of the world makes very thankful ours are so good and appear to be thriving.

I've managed to find two via swap, and I know the county has some in the catalog, but figuring out which of them is in English and which are in French is challenging :)Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05791628901417307647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-52614394620748152132011-01-19T23:41:57.879+11:002011-01-19T23:41:57.879+11:00I saw that story about the impending closure too. ...I saw that story about the impending closure too.
