Why do bookends appeal? Is it their decorativeness? Is it the fantasy they portray? Is it that they visualize the romance, adventure, history and knowledge found in books? Are they used to reflect our sense of style? Is it that they are in pairs? Perhaps it is all these reasons.
Bookends: another chapter is an exhibition at Mosman Library that showcases treasured bookends held in private collections. The exhibition, on display from Tuesday 12 April to Sunday 15 May 2011, is an opportunity to view some fantastic pieces dating from the 1920s to the 1980s.

On the 31st March 2017 the library in Chester closed its doors for the last time after 33 years of service. Library services are being relocated into the new Storyhouse building which opens to the public on the 11th May 2017.

A man reads a questionnaire at the Gloucestershire County Library Roadshow, part of a consultation process before revised cuts to the county's libraries. It is a dreadful questionnaire of huge complexity, filled with loaded questions. Yet the man appears to be enjoying it.
