Libraries the only
place where you still
can get something for free
observes an Athlone Library Librarian

Libraries the only
not just for project-time
(or whiling away school time)
copying and plagiarizing
your way through life

Libraries the only
though some folk
(garden gnomes, even
garden boys – a cut above)
dispense advice liberally

Libraries the only
place where you still
can get something for free

Have you been?

Me, observing conversation between an Athlone Library Librarian and a library-user, while I wait my turn to use the Internet, Thursday morning, 26 February 2009.
