I’ve recently added a page about the Constant Librarian, so you can find out a little more about who I am and why I’m here. I’m remaining anonymous for the moment (although those who know me will be able to identify me!), but this may change in the future when I become a little more confident about my voice.
I’m unlikely to get going on blogging much before the end of February, due to being involved in an ‘am dram’ production. However, I’m pleased to report that this production has a fabulous line about the value of public libraries!
The play is ‘The Day After The Fair’ by Frank Harvey, after Thomas Hardy’s short story ‘On The Western Circuit’. I play Edith, who, when asked to explain how she knows so much about the options available to single mothers for securing child maintenance from absent fathers, says:
“I should do. I spent a whole hour in the public library reading it up!”
Public libraries – supporting single mothers back in the Victorian era. Individuals’ rights may have changed over the years (to a lesser or greater degree), but libraries are no less needed and valued.
If you’re on Twitter, look out for the hashtag #savelibraries for posts about protecting libraries from the current round of cuts.
