Hello

How are you today?

Let me ask you something - where is your favourite place to read?

This was one of the questions that I asked our local celebrities and also our library staff and there were some very interesting answers.

There seem to be two distinct schools of thought when it comes to the favoured place to read.  Quite a few people seem to view reading as a very cosy activity that involves sofa or beds, roaring fires and warm drinks.  On the other hand there are those who regard the ultimate place to read as being in the sun on holiday.  There are some wonderfully vivid descriptions of the exact perfect place for some people, be it a particular view, the type of weather or the food and drink that should be to hand.  For example

"Newspapers on a cold Sunday afternoon in the pub with a good pint of bitter."  Natalka Znak

"Newquay beach in the summer with a cool breeze and a crate of cool beers." Josh - Never Sed

"In bed first thing in the morning with a cup of tea and a biscuit - preferably with a view of Lakeland fells through the window (or the tent flap) and the promise of spending the rest of the day exploring them." Colin Brabazon - North Lincolnshire Libraries

"In bed. Subdued light. Box of Maltesers. Sleepy cat." Alex - North Lincolnshire Libraries

As you can see, there's quite a range.  Visit our "Meet your..." pages for all of the responses.  And if you agree or disagree then share your views.

Until next time...
