I've been going to the library since I was at primary school and enrolled my boys as soon as they could turn the pages of their little books by themselves. I had great pleasure in 'signing-up' my Grandaughter when she was about 2 and she absolutely loves going to the library and choosing her books. Although the last time we went, she picked out a book on Coy Carp from the 'Hobbies' section just because she liked the pics of the fish! The point is, we must all do what we can to keep these places open and alive - they're such a great asset to any community. Also, I just happened to hear on the radio (Scotland) today that the sales of digital reading devices have gone down over the past year. That can only be a good sign.Between Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-21934647978414762972013-01-14T21:00:22.449+01:002013-01-14T21:00:22.449+01:00Kelloggs Ville: wow.

I need it to be raw, I need it to be sharp edged, I need to feel the sensuous page flick as it trips over my fingers. I need to feel it Steve, feel it. So far the Pince-nez have served me well but I expect to be taping binoculars to my head so I can continue to feel it.

Just love flicking pages, shoving odd bits of paper in as bookmarks, going back a few pages knowing someone's name was half way down on the left hand page. <br />I can see how Kindles would be fantastic for people needing bigger print. My dad had an e-reader in his last couple of years because he couldn't turn pages, so it was a boon for him.<br /><br />I met Catherine Cookson once and my mum played her mother in a film documentary many years ago.

I think the only books that'll disappear because of Kindles et al are large print books as the techno generation become the oldies and take their entire book collections to the grave (or at least to the nursing home of their choice).Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-36777030098870807582013-01-14T18:11:28.871+01:002013-01-14T18:11:28.871+01:00You're back!?
