Libraries gave us power. A powerful, wide ranging @NottmCityOfLit blog by Ross Bradshaw of @FiveLeavesBooks Sweet to be reminded of reading as part of a 2010 protest against library cuts with @EveMakis in the People's Republic of Beeston. https://nottinghamcityofliterature.com/blog/libraries-ross-bradshaw @NottsLibraries
