Sir Alex tells players to get to the library
Over the weekend, libraries found a new supporter- Sir Alex Ferguson Speaking out against Manchester United player's use of Twitter, he's said:
There are a million things you can do in your life without that. Get yourself down to the library and read a book.
Sir Alex, would you like to nominate your favourite for Libraries We Love? Perhaps you'd like to sign our petition and support our work with public libraries?
Any suggestions for what Ryan Giggs should read?
(Strawberries, now football, whatever next on our blog...)

Update 25/05/11: Sir Alex has today been announced Manager of the Year. He'd get my vote after his supporting words about libraries (not that it would count, I think you need to be a league manager to be able to nominate someone).
