"For as long as I can remember, I have been a borrower at Abington library in Northampton. Some two years ago, following discussions with local librarian, Maeve Orr, we
decided to stage a regular series of school holiday events that might be of interest to library visitors, both young and old alike. We wanted to provide activities that would be exciting and hands on, and, being secretary of Northamptonshire Natural History Society’s microscopy group, I suggested perhaps something to do with microscopes might form a suitable topic for development."
