My Dad

I love to read.

My Dad engendered this love of reading. Every month he would take us to the local public library. It'd be of an evening, after dinner. We'd be in our pj's and dressing gowns. ...Crikey, now I've aged myself some. :oD.

We'd choose mainly picture books, so we must have been very young. When we got home Mum would write them down in a log book so we'd know what we'd borrowed and had to return.

Dad loved to read. He had a mini library under the house. Mainly westerns.

It was his love of reading that started mine. My first library job was in that public library we visited in my younger years. It was a great start to my career in libraries.
