3 Generations at Crawley Library
Twenty years on and I was bringing my own children to the round children's library on Saturday mornings to satisfy their reader's appetites. We started with picture books to enjoy together and progressed to each child choosing books according to their own interests and favourite authors.
Now there's a third generation of our family enjoying Crawley library, but in its new building. When I cared for the grandchildren after school in their primary years, we'd always visit the library one afternoon a week. Most visits we'd go to the coffee shop for the treat of a drink and cake after choosing our books. The years have passed all too quickly and I presently use the library as a quiet, useful place to help the eldest granddaughter revise and practise for upcoming GCSE exams, and the coffee shop still provides a welcome treat afterwards!
