TLC THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
In these difficult times of growing unemployment and the stalling of our children’s education, it is even more essential that our libraries remain open.

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
