Despite the passage of time, and the different ways I have been involved in libraries (as a student, as a user, and finally as a professional), up to this day. It\u2019s a trip that I could do blindsided.<\/p>\n<p>Despite of the different locations and countries, the sense of familiarity among the shelves and, the endless enthusiasm about (free!) books, over time my conception of those spaces has been \u201cchallenged\u201d, as its best.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, and beyond homesickness feelings, it is impossible to deny that Public Libraries have lost the important role\/attention that they have had from Society and politicians in the past. There were fewer users, than I wished for, and that happens there and here.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a first-hand testimony of how Public Libraries work and face challenges in Scotland.\u00a0 Plus some wider indirect conversations like Mental Health Awareness or Poverty, \u00a0check the book <a href=\"%20The%20Library%20Saved%20Her.%20Now%20She%20Wants%20To%20Save%20The%20Library\">\u201c<strong>The Librarian: The Library Saved Her.

This aims to set up a new vision for Edinburgh\u2019s Libraries to provide the framework. Looking at\u00a0 service delivery and development for public and school libraries over the next five years<\/p>\n<p>As an avid reader, and an advocate for libraries I can\u2019t help but wonder a bit about the outcome of those plans, especially in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Even in days when the overwhelming offer of entertainment that we have at hand (pun intended, I mean our smartphones!). I am still an advocate for Libraries, especially public ones. Possibly because I am glued to the idea and memories that.
