    Hello,

    On National Libraries Day I was going to pay a visit to a few of the newer libraries in London, join them, borrow a few books and have a look at some of the latest examples of public library design in London.

    But then I thought it would be much more fun if I invited people to come with me.

    Here are the libraries I want to visit:

      I’ll try to come along – I was thinking it would fit it nicely with the librarithon idea.

          When I was mulling over the librarithon idea I thought I’d do as many as possible over a week, but other library-related plans have got in the way. So it looks like Saturday will be the main day now… so, yes, count me in.

    In reply to: LisaW posted an update Hi Richard I was just wondering if you experienced any problems uploading your photo, as I don’t seem to be able to upload mine? Lisa View

    Hi Lisa,

    I didn’t have any problems myself. Make sure you use a JPG, GIF or PNG format photo and make sure it’s not too large a filesize.

    Perhaps try that?

    Sorry I can’t help more.

    Richard
