About Me

My photo
theLibraryLander
I'm a retired Information Specialist, previously worked in a public library, which is a great job because it's a never-ending learning experience. I have a mild interest in most matters, but few really great passions - reading, predictably, is one of them. And, in case you wondered, here's the reason for this blog.
