A day in the life of <br> <i>a retired librarian</i>

Bolton-born Nobel Prizewinner for Chemistry, Professor Sir Harry Kroto, now based in Tallahassee, Florida, was taking time out of his intensive travel schedule to visit the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre and Museum in Widnes, Cheshire, where he was going to do one of his famous ‘buckyball’ presentation workshops with 100 primary school children. I had become involved with Catalyst (www.catalyst.org.uk), which is the oldest science discovery centre in the UK and the only one specializing in the promotion of chemistry and the chemical industry to children and the general public, about two years ago, and in early 2013 I became a Trustee of the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre Trust. So why was Harry Kroto coming?
