My library
Abstract
This time last year we published a Vision Statement “Books and Libraries in AD 2001” by Margaret Jane Crawford of Lochgilphead High School (New Library World, Vol. 93 No. 1102, 1992, pp. 21–2). Margaret's vision was an entry to the Scottish School Essays Competition. The organizers, the Library of the University of Paisley, and the sponsors, John Smith & Sons (Glasgow) Ltd, encouraged by the response to their experimental launch of the competition, have been rewarded by another excellent range of entries to this year's subject “My Library”. Ten of these were short‐listed. Eight of these, including the three winning entries, are reproduced in Library Review, Vol. 42 No. 3, 1993. The two remaining short‐listed entries are published here by kind permission of the organizers and sponsors. Both these essays are imaginative combinations of technological vision with an appreciation of some of the intangible qualities of today's books and libraries.
