Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
An idea for a New Year's resolution: join the library
If you're not a member of Haringey libraries, it's very easy to join. Download a copy of the form to join here [pdf], fill it in and take it along to your local library with two forms of ID - one with your signature on and one with your current address.
Once you've joined you have access to over a million books, audio and DVDs as well as free access to online resources.
Too busy to go to the library? You can use the ebooks and audiobooks service (not available for kindle, thanks Amazon) for your e-reader/ipad/iphone.
Libraries also provide lots of free events and advice sessions from aerobics to toddler sing-songs and free films and talks.
Moreover, you can use the free wi-fi at your local library without having to buy endless cups of coffee.

Date for your diary : Saturday 31st January Book and CD sale at Stroud Green and Harringay Library 1-4pm (to raise money for Friends of SG&H library to help publicise all the great stuff that goes on in our local library.)

On my 7th birthday I marched alone from Seymour Road up to that Library, full of excitement at the thought of borrowing my first book, to come away only with a card for my mum to complete. I can still remember the disappointment.

Did you go back with the card filled in, Geraldine? What was your first book from Stroud Green and Harringay?
It's on the spot joining but please take 2 forms of ID (one with your address on) and your parent if you're under 16 to avoid disappointment

Oh, yes, I went back with the card the same day. I wish I could remember that first book. There was one called "Tommy and his dog Hurry," but it may not have been the first one. I loved the Just William books, I remember, and also - horrors - Enid Blyton! There have been so many books since then...
I am delighted the Library is still up and running and good of you to encourage membership. I've heard that many have closed down because of government cuts. It's a super Library and I guess I could still find my way around it blindfold!
