So we had to choose a photo to blog about. I found this picture of the very first library I ever visited. It is in my birth place of Writtle which is in Essex and I was actually born in a house opposite the library. The falt we lived in was above a shop. At the time it was a seed shop but I think it is a lot more up-market now, may be a deli.
I used to have a ballet lesson every Tuesday evening and afterward I would visit the library with my mum and sisters. I think we were allowed to take three books and had three little pink tickets because we were children, adults had buff coloured ones.
It was always a great place to visit even though the librarians were of the strict shushing kind and I think it is what led to my love of books today. Great to see it's still there.
