although i moan the demise of our old library at stamford road and i still moan at how its destruction is one great national tragedy, i am anticipating the opening of the new library because i am a lover of books.

i hope it is as exciting as mr koolhas's creation.

not too much glitz please. coolness is icing on the cake. but just make sure there are hidden corners and mountains of good books.

shucks. but i still moan the loss of our stamford road library, with its musty smell and dusty iron grille windows and its bricks and the old majesty of it. even reading comics in a corner makes you feel awesome.in agony, i am.it's not just a sentimentality, folks up there who makes the big decisions, it's , ah, it's in the bones of all us people, it belongs to us. it's in the light, it's in the trees, it's in the parapet and the tiled steps and the ghostly courtyard.

and they say we don't voice our opinions. we just don't get heard. it's for the big picture they say. the FUTURE. aww stop those crocodile tears now it's just a piece of construction that's in the way.

whaaaadever, byebye piece of me.
