The Old Library - 1912

I remember 'Library day' at school when we our class would march to this building to choose a book. The children's section was downstairs and I can still recall the feeling I had when I browsed the books. It seemed like a wonderland. A new library opened which was modern and didn't give the same feeling. No longer a library, the building is used as an office to help people with learning disabilities.
