Ramsgate library

This Friday April 4th 2008 from 9am to 5pm in Waitrose supermarket, there is to be a consultation to seek local peoples views on the rebuilt Ramsgate library, due to open in the autumn.

My greatest concern has been that we would get a “Thanet Gateway” like Margate library, so we would have to struggle through people doing their council business in order to get to the books. I have been assured by the library staff that this won’t happen and that there will only one TDC enquiry desk staffed by one person.

  1. Nice view of the library.

    I always think its a shame they built on the 'gardens' of Guilford Lawn.

  4. Shame the consultation is only open to people who don't work 9-5... why couldn't it be during Waitroses's opening hours? Or is the library not to be funded for evenings and Saturday's so I wouldn't get to see it when it's open anyway?

  5. having worked at the library as it was in the days of charles busson, i think he would turn in his grave to see how 21 century it is going to look. the library was spoilt with it last refit before it burnt down. lets have a library that looks like a library should not something that looks more like a council office

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
