I saw Ursula's Secret in the library the other day here in Edinburgh and was ridiculously pleased and excited. In fact, I think more excited than when I first saw it in a bookshop. I don't really know why, except that I love libraries and always have done. Like so many people, I have great childhood memories of the Saturday morning trip to the local library, a green library ticket with my name on it and the three book limit. But three books in a week was no problem in those days - it's only now that life admin and so on gets in the way that my reading rate has slowed. I'm still a frequent visitor to libraries and love browsing the shelves and selecting titles at random. I like to think of other people doing just that, happening upon my novel and then taking Ursula home with them. Just another reason we need to do what we can to keep libraries open...
