I grew up in Bawtry library. It, and the interlibrary loan system were how I found and followed my love of science fiction, fantasy, falconry, card magic, and all the other passing fads and fixtures of my reading life. For a kid like me, the library was a boundless sea to sail on. Free libraries are living proof that we live in a civilised society. And then, in February 2011, Doncaster's idiot of a mayor decided that the Bawtry branch library was too expensive and pulled funding. Which is why this song happened. - Piers Cawley |

Child of the Library Lyrics copyright © 2011 Piers & Gill Cawley Chorus: The Lib'ry's where I made some friends I've known my whole life through I've travelled South with Shackleton and all his gallant crew And as I grew the libr'y fed my curiosity, So make friends with your library, don't let it fade away. So make a stand for the lib'ry. Stand up while you can. |
