Smallest Library in the World

[erastes]

Acle Library. I wish I could find a picture of it, but think of a drive-through McDonalds, and then make it a lot smaller. There are ...*thinks* six shelves of general fiction (less than head height high and about 10 feet wide) one of crime, one of teens, three of childrens. Some large print, some DVDs and 3 pcs. Don't ask me how they get any people in there. Four people and it's CROWDED. The staff room is bigger than the library. And you are very limited as to what they have. Which is, basically four Nora Roberts, Two Dan Pattersons and 240 Dan Browns.

Yes, yes yes. I should go to the Millennium Library in Norwich but I suck at driving in Norwich and in all the years I've been here I haven't a clue how to drive there. Norwich is nearly all one way traffic, make a mistake and you end up going in circles.  Anyway! I went to the tiny library today and got: 

H G Wells - War of the Worlds - I've only read this once and wanted to recall my youth
P G Wodehouse - Pearls Girls and Monty Bodkin - never heard of this one before but i lurve Pelham.
James Barclay - Shadowheart "It's been smouldering for years but now the conflict between Balaia's four colleges of magic has finaly blazed into furious life" Hmm. Sounds familiar. There's a Dark College, unsurprisingly.  I think this is the end or the middle of a saga, but I'll try it out.
Bernard Cornwell - Vagabond The sequel to Harlequin which I read recently. Men with big... bows!
Kelley Armstrong  - Broken - I'm starting with this one, about a female werewolf (the only one for some strange reason) who is pregnant (and it's an unheard of event) - again it's one of a series but seems to be a stand alone and I'm caught up on events. Trouble is it reads like not great fanfic, and the whole Pack/Alpha/vamp/demon thing seems so tired to me even though I haven't read any books on those subjects. Ho hum. Anyone read any of them?

I want THIS. But crap. Look at the price!

yike!

I bet you're right. 60p! Still cheaper than buying, I guess, but still.. how far away is the Norwich library?

not far at all from work as I work in Norwich, its just plucking up the courage to actually DRIVE there, as I simply don't know the way and multimap is no help at all, and people - when asked for instructions - go "you turn left into Prince of Wales Road and then go right down Goose Lane, sharp right at Horses Neck..." and I'm just BLANK as although I've lived and worked here for 7 years now, I don't know norwich at all. Perhaps I'll ask if someone can come with me and point the way. once I've been once, I'll be ok!!
