Do you remember the wooden chests with all the little sliding doors full of cards to look things up in? That feels like 200 years ago now.

Wait, Fraggle has goats now? I know Eddie has a whole petting zoo but I thought Frags was a city girl.

I thought you posted pics of a new Newcastle City Library a while back. Looked quite fancy.

I think you might be thinking of The Word in South Shields, as I haven’t been to Newcastle Library. However Newcastle does have the lit & phil, which looks amazing https://www.litandphil.org.uk/
but I haven’t been there yet.
