Many thanks for posting that. The debate makes an interesting read.

 

I read a lot of autobiographies and am struck by how often the local library is mentioned as an important influence on the subject's intellectual development. In the recent edition of the South Bank Show, looking at the career of Jeanette Winterson she regards Accrington Public Library as a pivotal part of her upbringing.
