Thank you Shona – for me to the ‘Sanatorium for the Mind’ is a powerful idea. A luxurious, decadent place of tranquility, peace and learning.

The peace, the solitude, the aura of learning that pervades every inch. It is sad to think that there is a trend away from libraries with books to Information Centres filled with computer terminals and multi-media areas. There is a place for all of that, of course, times change and scientific journals fit modern media very comfortably.
Our local library in Adelaide was great – it had a “loud” room designed for teenagers with DVDs, Internet, Music, an IT area with computers yet plenty of arm chairs in quiet areas for novels.
However, my favourite places will always be “oases of calm” like the Gladstone Library.
