We have a lovely library where I live on two floors, All our family including our grandchildren are members. Nothing like getting lost in a good book me thinks. Actually when I think about it each time we have moved house since a teenager all the villages and towns we have lived in have always had one.

Our village library is Commu its run. I was part of the team that was instrumental in keeping it open when it was threatened with closure.

It is a huge asset to our village offering all sorts of groups and activities. It is available to hire when it isn't open as there is a volunteer shelf moving team.

Although I no longer volunteer for the library, I am proud to have been part of it's early development.

Fantastic work Kittylester.. we would be a truly impoverished country if we lost our community libraries

Thank you Pascal. Our library is much more a part of the village now than it ever was during it's former time.

I have always been a member no matter where i have lived. I always belonged to the local one and the one on which ever base we were living on. All of my children got their library membership cards for their 2nd birthdays. These days i belong to the library i used as a child, i enjoy my visits so much as it brings back such lovely memories of visiting with my Dad every week and with my Granny during the school holidays.
