Love that Library, just love books.
Sound advice.
What libraries should look like in the future
Libraries now need to offer more than books to stay relevant. Inspired by Scandinavian models, they are turning into lively meeting points and cultural hot spots. Makerspaces reflect the values of the sharing economy.

Build Your Own Mini Library
How about this for an idea? Build your own mini-library in your garden to help publicise the campaign. Local DIY whizz Steve Hudson produced the one in the picture above, in what he says was ten minutes (ok, maybe a bit longer). He’s kindly written down instructions so that you can have a go at home.
When it’s built, and up in your front garden, why not add a sign to it showing the direction (and distance) to Cricklewood Library? What a great way this would be to raise awareness of the new library.
Download the instructions for this clever idea here.
When your mini library is built, tweet us pictures to @crklwdlibrary or email info@friendsofcricklewoodlibrary.org.uk.

If you would like to encourage a friend or neighbour to come along, you can download a flyer for our Carols by Candlelight event on 13 December here.
Cricklewood in the Blitz
Interesting slice of local history available on Bomb Sight – you can see where all the bombs fell during the Blitz (7th October 1940 to 6th June 1941). One not very far from our library, in fact, at the bottom of Olive Road.
