What Books Do For the Human Soul

We just came across this article by Maria Popova on Brainpickings.org and thought we'd share it. Did you know that reading great literature:

  1. Saves you time
  2. Makes you nicer
  3. Is a cure for loneliness
  4. Prepares you for failure

    Find out more in Maria's article and then pop along to the library and choose an old favourite or look for one you've always wanted to read.  The library staff will be pleased to help you.
