Good morning all. My phone is low on battery so this has to be quick

Then we took a bus tour with a difference called The Ride - completely nuts, very unBritish, but fun.

Very beautiful. So sad that they have to lock all those books up behind bars. I wonder what they did? Must have been serious to warrant that kind of security.
These ones remind me a little of Tokyo and Seoul.
Because they are massively valuable! (It was also what private collectors did in those days) Those books were very old... many were over 500 years old!Very beautiful.

I have never been to either

We read to know we are not alone,” wrote CS Lewis. He was clearly on to something. A new report claims that books are powerful enough to halt loneliness and social exclusion. The 50-page study, undertaken jointly by the thinktank Demos and the literacy charity the Reading Agency, argues that reading could also assist with social mobility and mental health, and even “hold off” dementia. It backs its argument with an array of compelling research and recommends a government investment of £200m, involving the NHS supporting “book-based interventions”, as part of its social prescribing strategy, alongside a major Comic Relief-style campaign to raise money for book charities, book circles and reading aloud schemes.
