  1. No copies of Njal’s Saga.
    No copies of Laxdale Saga.
    One copy of Egil’s Saga, in reserve stock and only accessible for a fee.

    Whether it is a cause or an effect, I feel the state of our libraries is symptomatic of the wider state of the nation. And they aren’t in a good way.

    It doesn't really matter if your library has a book handy: it has inter-library loans! You can get a book from anywhere the library is networked! Just ask! (That bestseller, too.)

  23. Seventeenth of my #BooksOf2023, again from the #library… I’m never going to get the owned heap down at this rate! Actually before this I tried to read A Scots Quair - it is now looking for a new home as the writing is fell awful.

    Anyway, this was interesting. Good analysis of how “meritocracy” is actually quite shitty, less good at proposing remedies (or maybe I was getting tired/bored by then).

  24. I laughed at some of the optimism and cried at the futility.
    I gave up screenshotting bits to highlight/mention on here.
    Everyone should read this book, and you can probably borrow a copy from your local #Library like I did.

    I use my local library regularly. I borrow 6 books at a time. Libraries mean you can try authors, genres, new to you. My local library will help you with computers, genealogy, book groups and you can work there, study, join various groups or just sit quietly and read. The children's section has really good story tellers and there is a music library.
    I cannot afford to buy books as often as I did when younger so libraries are a lifeline for folk like me.
