Childhood books and libraries
Childrens’ Book Week is almost upon us. I asked my teenagers what books they loved when they were really little. Out of the hundreds of books they read, looked at and listened to in their early years, these three struck a chord. (The links are to Librarything - if you haven’t tried that out, you should get over there soon)
Books I remember from my childhood
- The enchanted wood - I loved the idea of a faraway tree, where you could travel to different worlds by just visiting the canopy.
- Narnia series - read them a few times over
- A little golden book that began… What do children do all day while there Daddy’s are away? Talk about old-fashioned sounding. Can’t remember the title, can you?
I also remember going to the Coolangatta Public Library and sitting on black-framed chairs with coloured plastic webbing. There were four chairs, red, blue, yellow, green.
What was your favourite when you were a child? What’s your earliest memory of a library?
