EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1985, we see the beloved librarian Mrs. Enid Blackburn engrossed in a story as she reads to a group of eager children at Slaithwaithe library. The theme of the day was "Seaside holiday" an event organized by Kirklees Leisure Services with the aim of nurturing children's interest in books. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and curiosity as Mrs. Blackburn transports her young audience into the magical world of literature. As they gather around her, their eyes wide with anticipation, it is evident that storytelling has ignited their imaginations. This heartwarming scene captures not only the joy of reading but also highlights the importance of libraries as community spaces for education and entertainment. Beyond books, attractions such as games, singing, and dancing were provided to engage these young minds further. It is worth noting that this event was part of a series held across various libraries including Golcar, Milnsbridge, and Linthwaite – all aimed at fostering a love for stories among children. Decades later, this image serves as a nostalgic reminder of how librarians like Mrs. Enid Blackburn played an instrumental role in shaping young minds through literature during simpler times when technology had yet to dominate our lives. This photograph stands testament to the timeless power of storytelling and its ability to captivate generations while encouraging them to explore new worlds within pages bound by ink and imagination.
