Barking Learning Centre

I love books and can't remember a time before I could read (apparently I could read when I was four). So the public library was one of my favourite places. I wanted to be a librarian when I grew up. Or a teacher.

 

When I was eight someone burt the library down.

 

It was several years before a new one was built. It was very modern and trendy, light and spacious. It had armchairs and when I would occasionally bunk off school, I would sit in an armchair and read, finishing a novel in one day.

 

The new library was around about where this building is and looked a bit like it. But this is not the same. I'm sure it's not. It's now called the 'Barking Learning Centre'. I guess its likely that this is the 'new' library with bits added on.

 

I can't decide wether I prefer this photo, or this one.
