Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Just a quickie today – on this day in 1852 the first FREE public lending library opened in Manchester.

We’ve all read so many books together this summer and all for FREE!

What’s the most expensive book you’ve ever borrowed from YOUR library?

How much would all the books you’ve borrowed have cost you if you’d bought them?

I think you’ll agree being able to borrow all of these free books is something really special.

Happy anniversary free public libraries!

Twilight robbery- £9.99
