“Bury Knowle library is one of the most beautiful public libraries in England, thanks to its sylvan setting in an exceptionally handsome building.

by Philip Hunt – 18 December 2010
I was sorry to hear today of the planned closure of Headington public library, which it seems is to suffer the same fate as much of Oxfordshire’s precious network of community libraries. I grew up in Cowley, and as a child spent inordinate amounts of time at Temple Cowley library. I believe it was the facilities there that developed my confidence in an ability to tackle just about anything, in the belief that even if I didn’t know about it I knew where I could find out.
Such resources are incredibly important to growing children. The quest for knowledge in young minds soon outpaces the parents’ ability to satisfy it. Which is why the libraries are so important and why the internet and the web have become such valuable tools today. In my time it was the printed book – today it is the electronic screen. But while the media may have changed – the purpose has not. http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/In-defence-of-the-public-library.html

| 15 December 2010A theatre review by Julia GasperWhatever else you are doing between now and next Saturday, drop it and ring Ox. 305305 immediately to book for TRAVESTIES at the Simkins Lee Theatre at Lady Margaret Hall. This hilarious show is unmissable and the funniest thing you will see all Christmas season.
Stoppard’s play, written in 1974, has been called surrealist, an example of Theatre of the Absurd, and a “philosophical farce”. This is sophisticated humour, full of paradox and scintillating wit alongside doggerel verse and bits of utterly silliness. If we wish, we can see it as a serious exploration of the difficulty of making sense of life and creating a synthesis of its disparate elements. http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/TRAVESTIES.html |
