So I started working in Market Drayton Library in September of 2002 and then
00:07
I've worked here most of my library career had a little sin to our library
00:11
headquarters and I've been back for nearly two years now. What keeps bringing
00:14
you back to Drayton? Well I do live here and I think it's a wonderful town
00:18
there's really friendly people here and I just love working with the staff in
00:22
the library and everybody that comes in everybody's so friendly and they know
00:26
that if they need help they can come to us and we'll listen and help them as
00:30
best we can or if not we'll signpost them on to somewhere else. And you have
00:34
quite a lot of events going on here, is it quite a community hub? It is a very
00:38
much a community hub, we have things on most days so Mondays we've got a coffee
00:44

00:49
nooners, we've got a chess as well later on in the afternoon, Tuesday we've got a

01:00
