Several large carboard boxes are stacked on a table. Two of the boxes are ripped to show the books within.
Back at the library today and this is going to keep me busy for the week. One of our members - W.A.Tandy - has very generously donated his personal library. I wonder what treasures I'll find? @iom3.bsky.social #WeAreIOM3 #library #archives
