Love Your Library!
7 February 2013 - 9:50pmWe usually associate the month of February with romance, but did you know that February also is "Library Lovers" month? According to some sources, the library dates back to 1200 BC - that's 3,213 years and still going strong! Here at London Public Library, we are feeling the love from our community! Londoners love the library - and we've got the numbers to prove it! In 2011, there were 3.2 million in-person visits to the library, 4.25 million items borrowed and 4.5 million visitors to our website! And what's not to love?
