In touch...

In touch... is the free quarterly newsletter that the Doorstep Library Service (formerly the Housebound Library Service) delivers to its customers to help them keep in touch with the Library Service and with each other.

In touch... includes stories, jokes, anecdotes, poems and book reviews contributed by customers of the Doorstep Library Service. It also includes anecdotes and autobiographical notes contributed by the staff in the Special Services Team.

Summer's edition, which is just being delivered, includes:

• an admission by Les the Mobile Library Driver/Assistant that he enjoys going to Old Trafford to watch football;
• some poems celebrating being of a certain age;
• a reader's childhood memories; and
• a version of Sharon's narrowboat holiday that somehow doesn't mention Bailey's Irish Cream!

Autumn's issue will include more staff biographies; Milnrow ladies' poetry; book reviews; and Margaret's Borneo adventure.
