Truth is often Stranger than Fiction



Local media this week were all agog about the return to the public library of a book that was overdue by 50 years.

Like all good stories this one is not without an ironic twist. The book was a biography of Andrew Carnegie, the founder of the trust that funded Listowel’s and other libraries around the world. Our library used to be known as The Carnegie Free Library and thanks to funding by the Carnegie trust the library service was free for years and years. Maybe the borrower thought that the books were free too.

Happy Christmas to all followers of Listowel Connection. Thank you for all the support and good wishes in 2016.

I’m taking a short break to recharge the batteries. With your help, we’ll do it all again in 2017.
