Thank you for posting these fascinating photos of Swadlincote Library. I know the current buildng well and it is nothing like as elegant unfortunately. I note that they must have disobeyed the instruction on the right hand page, unless Rose's copy was stolen at some point long ago.

Erika

What a lovely entry. It reminds me of old versions of "The Adventures of a Penny"!

Cornflower

Yes! However long the book has been 'in limbo', it has now gone to a good home.
What a pity that that lovely building has gone - I've seen a picture of its replacement, and as you say Nicky it's not a patch on the old one.

Cornflower

Fascinating to think of the journeys books make and all the hands through which they pass.

Elaine

And here is my own von Arnim story!!
