It is 2014 - a pub library is born. Forget the use of hover-boards and colonies on the Moon, this really is where the future is at.
The Ship Inn - in Lerryn, Cornwall - has opened a community library. This is part of the wonderful Pub is the Hub scheme, attempting to get more people into the reading-bug. The Worm hopes the scheme takes off in a big way, leading to more Pub-Libraries in the future.
Pubs and reading have a long history with one another. Many novels have been written in gin-soaked bars, whilst great ideas have come to fruition after one or two glasses of ale. Some people have attempted to fuse the two together: from random, tattered copies of books on dusty shelves, right through to the creation of literary book crawls (such as the James Joyce one in Dublin).
However, the Worm has a warning: liquids and paper can sometimes prove a hazardous mix. A couple of tipples have been spilt on various novels in the Worm's own past. Dear readers, you have been warned.
