I know the librarians are happy when books are checked out instead of DVD's! They have told me they feel like they are running a video store instead of a library. patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432226.post-64834942909047918732017-03-03T11:54:53.531+00:002017-03-03T11:54:53.531+00:00It's such a brilliant initiative, isn't it...It's such a brilliant initiative, isn't it? Despite my DD's not being short of a book or two, they love the idea that millions of children are participating in one big book event and cherish their voucher / choosing their book / usually going to on to buy another book too. <br />I also help that as many schools as possible show children local libraries too - you don't need to own books (lovely as that is!) in order to be able to access them - at least so long as we are able to enjoy our lovely libraries without them being closed due to funding cuts.Plum Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00256310916540057337noreply@blogger.com
