Storytime at the children’s section of the Canterbury Public Library still has lots of appeal with city youngsters during the school holidays. Here Margaret McPherson (Children’s Librarian) reads to a group. Appeared in the Christchurch Star Home edition 13 May 1968 page 3.

Gosh, that brings back memories! I scanned the photo to check there wasn’t a little me there, I would have been 6 then. I loved going to the old library and remember the smocked librarians.

The children don’t look very happy – downright surly even, as if they’re plotting to thump the nice library lady. Nasty little beggars.
