Leader Business Achiever Awards

I think I may have missed this news when I had a few days off. Congratulations to Ringwood Library on being Finalists in the Leader Business Achiever Awards for 2007.

Last year Croydon Library was named Business of the Year. Fingers crossed for Ringwood.

What's your favourite library and why? Is it the staff, the atmosphere, the availability of Internet PCs that make your library special?

Cheers, Maryanne

Sorry it's taken a while to get to this but the Ranges Mobile is still off the road.
