The Moomins

I can remember reading everything by Enid Blyton, all the Paddington Bear books and all The Borrowers books but there must have been more because I was always up at the library.

I've always loved books and libraries and am very disappointed by the libraries in this town. Economic cuts have closed four since we've lived here and the main one has been commandeered by the university - well, they call it a university but it's more like a Sixth Form College - and there are only a couple of shelves of books for non students to borrow.

Indeed, FP.

I remember reading the Moomins and I bought the books for my son. We still have a library here but in the neighbouring town it's long gone. It's s Cafe Rouge now.

We always got a book token as a end of year prize giving at primary school. Everyone got one though. Used to love my trips to the book shop to spend my token. No idea where they got the money from now I think about it.
