I AM writing in praise of the wonderful community fun day that was held in Woodrow Library on Friday, August 26.

I have been a regular user of the library over the past six months and have found it to be at the very heart of the community with a wonderful manager who can’t seem to do enough for the people the library serves and the great staff she has. I confess, I used to use the larger library but after visiting Woodrow and receiving such an excellent service in such a positive, motivated atmosphere, I’m afraid there was no going back.

The fun day was just amazing – lots of free activities for families and people on hand to tell us what else is out there for us. Every person I spoke to on the day was friendly, approachable and informative. A really heartwarming, excellent day. This is definitely the future for libraries and communities alike. Thank you to everyone involved.
