Library Reopens After Refurbishment

[Lex]

I've never been a fan of the new library. The old library was great; I spent many happy days studying there when I was a student: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...akeover-44933/

I love libraries, but sadly they don't seem to be used much these days. Even the university library isn't used like it was when I was there.

I'm not sure that libraries trying to 'move with the times' are doing the right thing. Certainly, Coventry's main library isn't the kind of place I want to go to these days.

I haven't used a library in a long time; my studying days were a long time ago, I access most of my books through an E-reader, and any research I need to do is done via t'interweb.

Sadly, Lex, that's exactly how most of us do it these days. I suspect that libraries are going to go the way of the High Street if we aren't careful.

Incidentally, I'm a member of many libraries around the country just to gain access to various websites that I'd otherwise have to pay for. *blush*

That sounds like a good way of doing thins, Rebbonk.
