Mobile Library

Kenny arrived opposite our house. He drives the last remaining Somerset mobile library van, and was making his bi- monthly visit to the village. He described himself as 'a lorry driver who reads' (but no Yorkies). You can borrow up to 20 books a time, and have them on loan for 8 weeks. The service is secure for another year apparently, due to budget uncertainties in the County Council. For my takeaways, I borrowed a book on the Somerset & Dorset Railway (which has lots of enthusiasts according to the foreward), another on the Somerset Levels, and a third on the History of Somerset. I shall be able to bore someone with a stream of new information at my next social engagement, whenever that is.
