Public libraries, literacy and the public good — Áine Greaney After I graduated from college in Dublin, I set up house in a studio flat at the top of a house in a tiny, one-street town in the Irish midlands.

Q: When you move from home to live alone in a tiny, watchful town, what or who comes to save your 20-year-old self?
A: The local library and librarian.
