It may not look like much, but this is huge progress. After months of no work on sealing the ground floor, window frames have appeared on the front and sides of the library premises. The glass is still M.I.A., but we have hopes of it appearing soon.
In the meantime, this photo makes a nice desktop pic, don’t you think?

We had our first Library Table Day today, on a cold, blustery, grey February day, enlivened only by the great coffee, tasty cakes, good company and general air of bonhomie. We had visitors from the Park Run (hi Park Run people!), families looking at flats in the development across the road, a smattering of dog walkers (with very cute pooches!) and some cold, but friendly random passers-by join us for a cuppa and a natter about the library.
We had some volunteers sign up for the mailing list and for the many, many tasks that lie ahead. The plan is to run monthly table events until we open the library later in the year. Can you volunteer to help at them? The upcoming dates are (all Saturdays 1000-1300):
25 March
22 April
27 May
24 June
22 July
26 August
It’s a fun way to meet your neighbours and get to know your community better. If you can help, email us on info@cricklewoodlibrary.org.uk for more info.

I loved this – may have to apply it to my home collection.
How do YOU sort your books? Or cd collection?

The antithesis of Cricklewood Library. Our library will be free to use.
