Leicester library


Well it's been manic recently, so forgive my posting infrequently, but I've had car accidents and impromptu travelling to mess me about :P

Well this is really just a wee outcry against the injustice of the library in Leicester. (I've never been before... not sure why)

I've always romanticised libraries- ever since Giles' amazing collection in Buffy... well I expected the main library in leicester to consist of shelves and shelves of books of every possible genre and author... I wanted seats where you could chill with a random book off the shelves, and yes, maybe the odd sword (well not really... that might scare me off)

I was, of course, disappointed. There were a few simple shelves with a few books to keep each genre from starvation and one or two worn seats that I could imagine were salvaged from my high school when it was refurnished.

and the MANGA COLLECTION....

ugh.

kudos (i guess) for actually having one, but REALLY! at least stock the first bopok of each series, not two copies of the 19th! (Btw in the pic it's only one column of books... the other is in there by accident...)

I can't think about it without wincing at the idiocy!

Well here's a picture anyway. To show you :/

Well yues that is quite pitiful, in their defense though I am continually impressed by the services the library provides to support literature and encourage reading.

It's my own fault for expecting Giles to show up, I know =P

Lol, I know, I got over the dissapointment some time ago. Fortunately our BookDoctor is a pretty cool chick so it's not a dead loss.
