Billingshurst's Old Library

I remember going to the old library in Billingshurst as a child. It was on the corner of West Street, in what is now the hall/ meeting room of the Trinity United Reformed Church. The chapel was attached, as it is now.


I remember it being quite a dark place, with wooden floorboards; queueing up at the desk to get my book (s) stamped; the mysterious card system that magically enabled the librarian to locate the correct card/book/borrower!

Strangely, I don't remember the transition to the 'new', existing library. However, I still frequent the library and am so grateful for all that libraries have to offer. A wonderful service that enriches our lives - long may they last, to celebrate many more centenaries!
