100th birthday party at the Main Library

Just a quick note before I run over to the City Council meeting to say how pleasant it was to hear the music and see all the people who turned out for the 100 birthday party at the Main Library on High Street.
It wasn't so many years ago that the old library was crowded and ill-equipped. It took a few pushy people -- Linda Libbey, for example -- to get officials moving. But once they did, the plans turned into reality. The difference between what Bristol had there a decade ago and what it has now are amazing.
Anyway, it was all very nice. Kudos to those who put it together.
