Almost everything I am, I owe to libraries. When I was a child there were no great libraries around.
Libraries still for me have this extraordinary charge. When I get in one, I feel this buzz, it is almost sexual. Behind these bound copies are voices - people murmuring to you, seducing you, dragging you into their world. I suppose if I have one campaign I can really get behind it is saving libraries. Everyone surely has the right to access the voices of the past.
