rhubarbjamIt has been 100 years since Bath Libraries first opened their doors, and they are now collecting memories from staff and customers talking about the impact the libraries have had on their life. "My lasting memory of the Bath Library is happiness!" notes one customer, "...I can still see myself sat in there, feeling hugged by all the books around me."
To celebrate the centenary, a 1920's themed gala was held in Bath Central Library, imitating the fashion and music in the year it first opened. Councillor Michelle O'Doherty borrowed The Heavenly Twins by Madam Sarah Grand (which was the first book ever borrowed from this library in July 1924) to kick off the celebrations, which included performances from local artists and readings from books from the library’s Centenary Collection of 100 books from 100 years.
