I love libraries and seek them out wherever I go. I therefore couldn't be happier to be one of the winners of the European Cultural Foundation's competition on the theme of How a Library Changed My Life. As part of the prize, I was invited to a summit in Amsterdam for librarians called 'If Librarians Ran Europe' - what a proposition, and what an interesting group to meet! The winning stories were published in a book to accompany the summit and also recorded by actors. It was a great experience and lovely to be back in the Netherlands, the country which inspired my story. Here is a recording of my story .
