I spent a while inside one today, a library that is. The Duncan Rice Library on the University of Aberdeen Campus.
I have a notebook where the day's takings are entered and added up into the credit column marked "stuff I didn't know that I now know."
Lifelong learning is letting our minds rise above the familiar, the known and the safe, and taking the risk of new ideas and different ways of seeing things.
