Pauline Rowson explains why our libraries are so important to our communities

I
owe a great deal to libraries and particularly the libraries of
Portsmouth. Without them I might never have discovered the sheer joy of
reading and ultimately have become a crime writer.



Coming from a household where money was tight I was fortunate enough to
be introduced by a friend’s mother to a small local library in
Portsmouth, the Alderman Lacey Library in Tangiers Road. There I
discovered a treasure trove of books, the sheer volume and variety of
which would have been impossible for my parents to buy, let alone
store.  I devoured everything from adventure to classics and many in
between.
