Day 20: Ham Library - Libraries aren't like this in my country #30days30libraries

I spent most of my time in Ham Library making sure my nephew didn't poke a baby in its face in his excitement to say hello.It was fairly quiet in Ham Library today but the children's library was full. There were a few there like me - a child plus one.My nephew enjoyed driving the book bus a little too much (he couldn't stop frowning whenever anyone else had a go.)IMG_0986IMG_0992I met an Italian nanny with 8-month-old Jackson."Libraries aren't like this in my country," she told me. "We don't have things for children to do. Not that's free. We come here every Monday for a class or we just visit today, to meet other children."My nephew again narrowly missed Jackson's eye waving hello to him while I gabbled away to the other nannies and mums.I'm not sure who was more pleased to see each other; the children or the grown-ups.
