00:00So I'm here with Jim at the library and Jim is retiring after 29 years, his last day is
00:07on Christmas Eve and Jim can you tell me what the biggest changes you have seen over the
00:13past 29 years?
00:14Well the most obvious changes have been with technology but I think the best changes have
00:21been creating the library as a community hub and making it very welcoming for everyone
00:27so it's a safe place for everyone and yes it's just been a great experience to have
00:33worked here and I'm very sorry to be going.
00:37And if you had to say one thing to get people through the doors that might not have been
00:41to the library for a while what would you get them, what would you say to them?
00:45I think it's just, it's a welcoming place, it's not just about books but it's about community
00:53So come on down and have a look, everyone's a member, all you need to do is pick up your card.
