I love my library - specially since they have free access to Ancestry! I love reading and always wanted to be a librarian - never understood how I ended up being a teacher instead! Kate

I also go to the library, but not for the books! I love to read through the Parish Records on microfiche. Sad or what!?

Spend quite a lot of time at Bridlington library usually doing lookups for GR members. It is a good way of learning about local history especially when I have only lived here for 5 years. Can not remember the last time I actually took a book out - certainly would not have been a novel as I do not read them - but love reference books of all sorts. Maureen

Yes, I can't afford to buy books but I love reading! I also worked there for a while, so go in for a chat too. I'm in there most weeks - and I like to take the children when I can too. Maz. XX
