AFTER spending two decades issuing books in Ludgershall Library Christine Bevis is turning over another page in her life and retiring.
She issued her last book before Christmas and is now getting ready for a long trip.
"I'm planning to visit my daughter in New Zealand. But I'm going to miss all the regular visitors to the library as you get to know people over nearly 20 years," she said, on her last day.
Like the rest of the world libraries have changed a lot since the early 1980s.
"I don't think people use the library as much as they did because they have computers and the internet," she said. "We don't get the youngsters coming in for information as much as we used to," she said.
"But we still have our regulars who like their romances and westerns and I think the libraries will survive.
"I would hate to see this one close and I will continue to use it."
