My library was Brays Road, Sheldon.
Somewhere in the far back of my mind, i seem to remember that Grimms fairy tales were anything but fairy tales suitable for children? There is also a tv programme on at the moment called "Grimm", & that`s full of weird monsters. ( I haven`t watched it cos i`m scared of monsters.)I recall I was very fond of Grimm's fairy tales and the like and spent hours poring over the lovely pictures at home. I enjoyed the stories too.

Indeed, Smudger, I remember the weirdness of the stories and pictures, but living a back-street life in Birmingham I loved all that. They were so colourful and rich in imagination. I remember one tale describing a dog with "eyes as big as saucers", and never thought it scary, just intriguing.

Our local library when we were first married use to be open, I think, until 8.00pm the porter would call time with a wonderfully sonorous "five minutes please".The 28th Birmingham Branch Library, South Yardley, opening soon...
