@Janroweljmu @AnnaFazack1 thank you.

@AnnaFazack1 It’s completely brilliant writing from @AidaE Unsung heroes who do the most brilliant things.

Oh this is the most beautiful, bloody heartbreaking story of why libraries matter for reasons far beyond the books. I urge you to read it. Two humans at Battle library holding up so many different people with nowhere else to turn. Awful & magical. theguardian.com/news/article/2…

@ameliagentleman @gdnlongread Thank you!

Take some time today to read this really brilliant @gdnlongread by @AidaE It's an unexpectedly gripping account of daily life inside west Reading's Battle library, and the heroic people who work there theguardian.com/news/article/2…

@ruthsgreen @gdnlongread Thank you!

Delightfully gorgeous @gdnlongread by @AidaE "Part of the magic of a library, as I was reminded over and over again in the days I spent at Battle during winter and spring, is its capaciousness as social infrastructure." theguardian.com/news/article/2…

@chakrabortty @gdnlongread Thank you!

Beautiful, sad, true @gdnlongread on how our libraries became our council offices, our community hubs, the fraying thread of local government and charities. Great reportage by @AidaE theguardian.com/news/article/2…

@msmirandasawyer Thank you!

Just to say that this brilliant feature is by @AidaE

@MaryJaneEdwards @the_libraries thank you!

@AidaE Less unexpected because bootle is full of wonderful people and things, but take a look at @the_libraries atthelibrary.co.uk

Hello all. What's the most unexpected service you've ever come across in a public library? I guess they all provide internet access etc these days, but beyond that? Thanking you.

@avparsons !

@AidaE Table tennis a few years ago at Deptford Library, London. Tables actually in the library space itself.
