28 March 2012At Maggs we have some half dozen London Library memberships between our score of staff, and there are few days that see none of us up there. I love the Library very much indeed. For me it combines for me the qualities of the haven and the hotbed: I relish the luxurious silence of the stacks, and cherish the frisson of revelation that (on a good day) the indexes and tables of contents will offer up.
