A great community space

We use Hildenborough library regularly and have done since the children were babies. It provided me with a space to take the children and for them to join in with rhyme time, do colouring and for me to meet with other mums.

We have taken part in the summer reading challenge and enjoy our trips to the library.

Our Librarian is the best who takes time to get to know the users of the library, who knows what we would all do without him. He, and the library is a lifeline to so many people in the village and with many elderly people being able to walk there and know someone will be there to chat with them, which could be the only social interaction they will get. As it's a village library you never know which friend you may see and parking isn't a problem.

I would always prefer to take the children to the library than do things online, as much as it can be helpful at points I don't always find the service user friendly and want the children to have a love of reading books rather than ebooks.
