Library Love

First Timer in NYC
I’m just back from my first trip to New York City. I know lots of people who say they will never go to New York because they don’t like cities, they don’t like crowds, it’s too expensive, or there’s too much crime.

London Report
This should properly be called the London and East Sussex report but I wasn’t sure that had the same ring to it! I split my week’s vacation time right down the middle and enjoyed both places equally. Newcomers to this
