The Reopening Celebration - Osterley Library - 2010

Over 500 people attended the official opening of Osterley Library on 1st August 2010. Special Guests at the launch included the Mayor of Hounslow Councillor Colin Ellar and acclaimed journalist and fictional author of titles such as Assassin, The Accident Man and the Survivor Tom Cain. Visitors to the library were some of the first in the country to find out about Tom’s new novel, “Dictator”. The opening of Osterley Library formed part of an afternoon of activities held by the Friends of Jersey Gardens and Osterley Bowls Club.
