Mary’s Bio
I was not born into a “bookish” family, books were an expensive luxury we could ill afford. So libraries played an important part in my childhood during the thirties and forties. Once I became absorbed in a book it had to be prised from my hands in order to attend to other activities such as washing, eating and sleeping. As I grew older real life took over but reading has always played a vital part in my life. Now in my eighties I have failing eyesight and find reading print difficult, sometimes impossible. So the digital revolution has enabled me to still inhabit the wonderful world of books, for which I am profoundly grateful.
A very uplifting story! Great to hear how important libraries have been and continue to be in people’s lives.
Diolch! Hope we are continuing the good work from the Capture Wales project all those years ago!!
Thanks for this Mary (if I may?). As a 32 Irish man with MD I find this story very moving. I also love to read and work as a university lecturer. It’s good to know that technology has helped you as I hope it will help me.
How awful to have MD at 32 ! I have nothing to grumble about, I had 20/20 vision at that age, MD only struck when I was in my 70s.
Thank you Declan for your input, my best wishes. Mary
