Bookish Thiings
Well, the library I go to in the CBD is undergoing renovations - recently the first floor was closed for a while, so no non-fiction stuffs for me. Magazines were banished to the second floor. Now, the ground floor is closed, so no fiction books for a while. Arrgh. The first floor is now open again, but everything is back to front, which left me thinking I needed a map for my own library. At least I've got a stash of books right now.
Have you ever gone along a street filled with business / industrial looking buildings, and suddenly seen an old house, the last grumpy survivor from when the street saw kinder times？ Well, the Hard-To-Find second hand bookshop in a nearby suburb was like that, an old Victorian filled with books. Now it's in trouble - there's been no maintenance provided for the last 20 years and suddenly the rent is going up. It's in trouble and needs help. I'll put in a few pennies - after all, there's a room filled with science-fiction and fantasy. That has to be worth saving.
