![]() ![]() ![]() Stamba used to be a publishing house, the first communist newspaper in Georgia was published there. How I started reading “ Public Library and Other Stories” is unusual, I teach English and I used to meet one of my students at Stamba Hotel in Tbilisi, where the interior is decorated with laden bookshelves. My first paid job, aged 16, was working Saturdays in the local public library, Slough Public Library, a building seen in the opening sequence of “The Office” sitcom/ mockumentary. The important thing about the notion of a public library now is that it’s the one place you can just turn up to, a free space, a democratic space where anyone can go and be there with other people, and you don’t need money – ![]()
