A is for Athenaeum's Annual Airing of Amusements

And so to Fleet library for the hoped-for and found exhibition of old toys, and as in previous years a fine collection of nostalgia-buttons await the visitor, this year they have dived the main cabinet into four themes with the low display case having construction toys.

The Farm




The Garden








The Zoo




The Aquarium






 
Educational Construction Toys
 






And many thanks to Fleet Historical Society for putting this on every year, remember the Tories have closed over 800 libraries in the last 13 years, and rely on volunteers and non-book related activities to keep the remaining ones open or relevant.
 
Disgusting, I know, but with half the population to the left of the bell-curve (because they never used libraries?) and voting, it's not something (the destruction of community learning) which we've seen the back of.
