Wow, your local library sounds amazing! It makes me wonder about all the things I might be missing at my library, just because I never knew they existed. Now I'm inspired to go found out!

Thanks Robin! I was blown away by all the services they offer, I'll definitely be checking out some of the events next time I'm in London. 💖

I love the library, I’m always shocked by how many books I’m allowed to have at once!

I was amazed! When I was a kid it was three books for kids and 6 for adults. But the librarians kindly turned a blind eye when I used my mum’s card too so I could get 9 books out and select some from the adults section 😂

It's incredible what libraries offer, this is a great list! I'm not far from you in the Wimbledon area. A visit to the British Library has been on my list for a while, you've inspired me to go sooner rather than later!

You’re welcome! I’ve had a lot of fun reading people’s posts. I’d never have imagined a single-word prompt could generate such a diverse range of articles.

Oh I bet Wimbledon has some lovely libraries, and I’m sure they probably have loads of services and activities too. It’s seriously impressive what they manage with tiny budgets. I love the vibe of the British Library. You can almost feel the ideas and inspiration ticking over in visitors’ minds. ✨

Yeah it’s mad! I once went to a private viewing of the historic India Office Collection that was fascinating.
