Friendly Hartley Library

My 2 children and I have been regular users of our local library for over 13 years since we moved here. The previous 2 librarians, Rose and Jackie were extremely friendly and welcoming. Now we have Nathalie and Angela who are just as amazing! Always a smile, a chat when times are not busy, a friendly face or some helpful information. They cannot do enough to help. The loss of our library for so many months in lockdown was terrible; just when we needed it most! But understandable. Over the years, we have been to baby/toddler singing, completed in the Summer Reading Challenges and met some wonderful friends through these. We rely heavily on the library, mainly now for books only, but are often worried this service may be lost. Which would be a tragedy more so for those who can't drive/walk far etc. An amazing hub of the village and long may it continue!
