Foreword: Down the Rabbit Hole...

I wonder how many of you, like me, are feeling a bit like Alice, tumbling down a rabbit hole, and wondering what awaits me. We're all having to negotiate new ways of working and living, exploring outside our comfort zones to find alternatives. As always, your library stands ready to help with that. 

In this special edition of NB, we bring you suggestions a-plenty to fill your days. This is your opportunity to discover a part of the Library you may not have seen before - the one that lies beyond the bricks and mortar of our buildings. We'll take you on a tour of the wonderland that is our e-library, where stories read themselves, where newspapers speak languages from all around the world, every page you read is pristine, and the books make their own way home.

For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible. ~ Chapter 1, Down the Rabbit Hole, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
