A new dad’s interesting thoughts about him visiting a public library again, all thanks to his baby daughter, in The Observer Magazine on Sunday.
And he writes:
I haven’t set foot in a library for a long time. I have spent most of my adult life being a private citizen, buying private goods and services with privately earned money. But since I started looking after a baby I have come over all public.
and
The library is in fact thriving. As I wheel the pushchair through heavy glass-panelled doors I catch the tail end of a communal guffaw. It is the librarians, sharing a joke. I am shocked. The last time I was in a library all you could hear was dust particles colliding. My faith in the propriety of public institutions is shaken.
