You may not have been able to make the meeting on Tuesday 5th – missing custard creams and 65 other people who are interested in the future of Cricklewood Library. Also you will have missed the large scale plans of the library, so we are adding them to this site for your enjoyment.
You can download the plan here.
If you have any suggestions about what you want to see in the library, if you want to add your name to the mailing list, send some money to help kit out the library or even share your skills, please do get in touch. Use the contact page, or tweet &c.
