Between crooked spire and sloping stone angel, lies a territory of sorcery. For not only is the boneyard a place of talking to the dead, it is a home to grim guardians and workroom for witches who want to toad-plough graves. – George Kindred, 'Witch County,' 1970

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people
