Sunday 23rd March
Report written by Kash
On Sunday morning, four Ealing GoodGymers woke up in an unfamiliar area, likely brought there by the Saturday hailstorm. Their backpacks were full of Northfield Community Library leaflets promoting the activities available in the community centre. Would people (or Munchinks) of that neighbourhood be interested in the library's offer?
The four progressed through the streets that were not even called streets but garths! Apple Garth, Cherry Garth, Plum Garth. How peculiar! The wheelie bins were not black or blue but brown - and they had a Hounslow emblem on them!
Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore.
Not too far away to the South loomed Kew Eye Tower, which meant that the GoodGymers ventured to Brentford! That's exactly where the library wanted to drop their next set of flyers to fight the anti-educational propaganda of the Wicked Witch of the East. The GoodGymers then followed the yellow brick road to spread the word about an Ealing community centre among the Brentford folk.
Northfields Community Library is a registered charity, run completely by volunteers. As well as providing users with books from all over London, we are working to develop our library into a local hub for learning, creativity and community engagement.
