     @Sherri_Ingrey @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain We don't even have a decent library, we are lucky because we can at least afford to buy books, but if were totally reliant on a library we would be stuffed. There used to be a great 2nd hand charity bookshop in Inverness but it closed down, it has everything, old ones, as in vintage/antique, as well as just modern 2nd hand, I really miss it.

     @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @Sherri_Ingrey I am the only one of my friend group who still reads, avidly, the rest of them went from being readers to never bothering, I just don't get that.

     @HebrideanHecate @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain yeah I can't give it up totally, though it's about 1/100th what is was, mainly because I don't drive and can't just pop off to the library where I live now (my old place was 3 blocks from the library)

     @HebrideanHecate @Sherri_Ingrey @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain I stopped going to my library. Full of smug, rainbow-lanyard wearing, patronising shits.

     @HebrideanHecate @Sherri_Ingrey @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain I know. I used to support libraries, but they've gone the way of so many public sector groups.
     Sad really.
