These photos, takenĀ in 1982, shows the official opening of Hemlington Library, as well as the numerous visitors – including children – looking around the new library building and reading books. Some of the children are carrying more than one book while waiting at the reception desk.

I spent many a night after school at Hemlington Library doing my homework before the Internet took over. Such a valuable resource for the area.
Fantastic memories especially as a resident and now local councillor of Hemlington. Love this place.
