Happy Memories of Canning Town Old Library

About this record

A local woman shares her happy memories of Canning Town Old Library via an email correspondence with community researcher Lynda Dowling.

My memories of the library are very happy as I loved reading as a child and visited most Saturdays to change books and sit down and read. I also used to sit at the desk and the lady working there allowed me to stamp people's cards and file the little tickets.
