Memories

I was asked by my  former colleagues of the Public Library to search in my archives for old photos.
A former collegue says goodbye and they want to give her a photoalbum with some memories. I have a whole cabinet filled with more than 60 photoalbums! So I spent the whole afternoon watching old photos of holidays,  family and all kind of other things. Some people think librarians are a bit dusty people with their nose in books, but nothing is less true. This one is at a weddingparty of a colleague who worked in the music department. We sang a song for the bride with LP covers on our heads. It was the time of the LP, long playing record albums. I am the one in blue.

We also had nice outings with all the staff from cleaning ladies to director to an open air museum. You can see a Library was a woman's business at that time, we were very emancipated with a female manager director as well. I am the one in black and white at the left.

  1. Leuk. Niks stoffigs aan. Zestig is wel erg veel. Ik kom aan een stuk of veertig

  2. How nice to see such a gathering over time. To be a librarian is to hold one of the world’s most important jobs. Librarians care for, and catalog, our very precious books!!!

  5. I find librarians so knowledgeable. I seek them out when I am researching my 'Above the Underground' stations. There seemed to be an awful lot of you on that outing. It looks as though you had some wonderful times together.

  7. It's so much fun looking at old photos Marianne. I would never think of a group of librarians as being a bit dusty, in my experience groups of women always have a lot of fun 😊
