Dorothy McGillivray, aged 96, devours books. Rapidly.
Liverpool City Library records only go back to 2007, but it is estimated she has borrowed 14,000 books since she became a member after arriving from England in 1952.
No Mills & Boon though (she says sheâd put a match to them), and no novels, thank you.
Mrs McGillivray doesnât need large print and she likes books on the Royal Family (she was a £10 Pom), history and archaeology. She is, quite possibly, the best read woman in town. And sheâs never had a library fine.
