It will make a wonderful introduction to this second book, which is different, but deserves that introduction.<br /><br />And, thank you, Erica, for saying I captured your book. I'm always honored when the author tells me that.

And, they all demand a little cuddle time, and I'm willing to give it.<br /><br />Well, Rosemary, the only thing I know you can do for your libraries is speak up. Tell your friends. Complain to your local authorities. Let them know how important libraries are to you. And, if you've met people through the various groups you participate in at the library, ask them to do the same. If no one speaks up for libraries, libraries will disappear.<br /><br />Hugs, my friend. I'm so sorry to hear that about your library.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-51742593817963721862013-01-27T05:40:37.908-06:002013-01-27T05:40:37.908-06:00Morning Lesa - this book sounds wonderful.

Predictably, our library doesn't have it, and Amazon UK is still quite expensive - but they have the first one much cheaper, so I'm going to treat myself. I love stories about people quietly getting along, especially in this weather when you just want to cosy up.<br /><br />After building 2 brand new libraries & a museum, our council has suddenly announced major cutbacks, closures (including complete axing of the mobile library service) and redundancies for library staff. I can't believe they can have invested so much money in such fantastic new buildings only now to say they can't afford to run them. I know you've just been through all this personally. When will local authorities see that libraries are not an 'extra' but an essential means of allowing everyone access to knowledge? In this country at least, knowledge and information are once again becoming the privilege of the rich and powerful. Appalling, wish I could think of something to do about it.<br /><br />Off soapbox now! Thanks for the great reviews - I don't know how you've bounced back so quickly! How are your cats settling in?<br /><br />RosemaryRosemarynoreply@blogger.com
