Thank You!

From All at Wallasey Central Children’s Library

Nice idea ..

Great! Will do that. When I was growing up Wallasey Village was my closest library, but I will help Central celebrate by sending a card.

Forgot to say - my favourite books (that I remember!) when small were 'Mary Plain' and 'Orlando the Marmalade Cat'. Anyone remember those?

My fave books a child were Enid Blyton books- all of them- famous5, Secret7- Mallory Towers (??) etc

Always been a reader. I love Books and I love our Historic library service.

My first memory of Wallasey Central Childrens Library was as a 1st year at Weatherhead High School (they call it year 7 nowadays)and we went as a Class to learn how to catalogue Books. How to rifle through those tiny drawers- to find what/ where books would be indexed.

....and there was TONS of Books, for me (much more than in my Branch).

I still get the urge to roll about the place (not literally-hypothetically- I do chuckle to myself) in Birkenhead and Wallasey Central Libraries-#BookPorn #LoveBooks

My favourite books were Milly Molly Mandy.
