What sums up the Show?
Retired Janis Barlow drives around the county delivering books to those in rural communities. Lonely and needing a project, she takes it upon herself to not only deliver books but to help her community and herself find contentment in life.
Short Description
Janis Barlow is the book volunteer for the local community library – since the cuts, since she was 'retired' from the hair salon. She has tried different ways to keep herself busy (synchronised swimming, meditation) but to little avail. So, she grabs her rollers, her crystals and her basket of books and starts out on her quest to transform the lives in her community, popping round the county in her Smart car delivering to people who can't get to the library. And slowly she starts to realise that it is she who is lonely, and that doing good does you good too. More »
