Love Letters to Libraries

From places to go for kindly advice to havens of hush, libraries play a special role in cultural life. With councils up and down the country sharpening the axe, Book Week Scotland has launched a campaign to get readers to write love letters to their favourite temple of reading.
Authors read and share their love for libraries, here are a few of our favourites:

Why don't you write a love letter to your library?
What does your library mean to you personally? What memories do you have from them? Perhaps your love of reading started there, you spent countless hours studying in them, made new friendships or discovered great books in them? Does your library have any special features, or a special role in your community?

"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library." – Jorge Luis Borges
