subtitle (or excerpt)
I didn’t make it to the opening ceremonies of the newly-renovated Cambridge Main Library but I did join the slightly dazed after-work throng milling around the spacious and welcoming environment toward the end of the library’s first full day. (I left with 6 books, which seemed to make me a bit of a lightweight.) The […]

2 “thank you”s to strangers
5 December 2007, 7:50 am
subtitle (or excerpt)
To someone in Cambridge:
