I became a member of Norbury Library on Friday and took out my first book. Nigel Slater - The Kitchen Diaries. I like to watch him on TV and his books are great. Borrowing from the library means I can dip in and out without having to buy the book. So in homage to this great privilege (that may soon be taken away) and paying homage to the campaign to Save Norbury Library - I baked a ginger cake from the first chapter. Containing ground ginger, stem ginger and the delicious syrup from the jar - its rich, moist and full of flavour. A few sultanas and lots of golden syrup make it even more special. It's maturing (1-2 days) right now and will be tasted tomorrow. This is what the library has done for me today. What can a library do for you?
Fantastic that you joined the library, but what took you so long? That should have been one of your first tasks when moving to Norbury. In the library world we are judged on our visitor numbers and active membership, so part of your campaign might be to get as many people as possible to join, pass through the doors of the library on a regular basis as well as taking maximum numbers of items out. Keep up the fight!
