Thursday 31st August 2017
I accompanied Doug Jones of the Shropshire Library on the first part of route 4 – through Llanymynech, Pant, Redwith, Crickheath, Maebrook and Maesbury – on the morning of Thursday 31st August. I greatly enjoyed seeing the mobile library service in action, and was very impressed by Doug’s encyclopedic knowledge of his customers and their preferences. There is no doubt that this is a very valuable link for many people in far-flung villages around North Shropshire and that Doug’s enthusiastic and sympathetic approach provides a real service to the rural community.
