Reading Allowed By: Chris Paling [Audiobook]

Author: Chris Paling
Narrated by: David Thorpe

Chris works as a librarian in a small-town library in the south of England. This is the story of the library, its staff, and the fascinating group of people who use the library on a regular basis. We’ll meet characters like the street sleepers Brewer, Wolf and Spencer, who are always the first through the doors. The Mad Hatter, an elderly man who scurries around manically, searching for books. Sons of Anarchy Alan, a young Down’s syndrome man addicted to the American TV drama series. Startled Stewart, a gay man with a spray-on tan who pops in most days for a nice chat, sharking for good-looking foreign language students. And Trish, who is relentlessly cheerful and always dressed in pink – she has never married, but the marital status of everybody she meets is of huge interest to her.

Some of the characters’ stories are tragic, some are amusing, some are genuinely surreal, but together they will paint a bigger picture of the world we live in today and of a library’s hugely important place within it. Yes, of course, people come in to borrow books, but the library is also the equivalent of the village pump. It’s one of the few places left where anyone, regardless of age or income or background, can wander in and find somebody to listen to their concerns, to share the time of day. Reading Allowed will provide us with a fascinating portrait of a place that we all value and cherish but which few of us truly know very much about.

Book Description
================
Chris works as a librarian in a small-town library in the south of England. 
This is the story of the library, its staff, and the fascinating group 
of people who use the library on a regular basis. We'll meet characters 
like the street sleepers Brewer, Wolf and Spencer, who are always the 
first through the doors. The Mad Hatter, an elderly man who scurries 
around manically, searching for books. Sons of Anarchy Alan, a young 
Down's syndrome man addicted to the American TV drama series. Startled 
Stewart, a gay man with a spray-on tan who pops in most days for a nice 
chat, sharking for good-looking foreign language students. And Trish, 
who is relentlessly cheerful and always dressed in pink - she has never 
married, but the marital status of everybody she meets is of huge interest 
to her.
Some of the characters' stories are tragic, some are amusing, some are 
genuinely surreal, but together they will paint a bigger picture of 
the world we live in today and of a library's hugely important place 
within it. Yes, of course, people come in to borrow books, but the library 
is also the equivalent of the village pump. It's one of the few places 
left where anyone, regardless of age or income or background, can wander 
in and find somebody to listen to their concerns, to share the time 
of day. Reading Allowed will provide us with a fascinating portrait 
of a place that we all value and cherish but which few of us truly know 
very much about.
