George has no plans to retire
George, 68, who lives in Joppa, recalls: The school had suggested a library job so I sent in my application and when I went the deputy librarian looked at it and ripped it up and made me write it out again – I’d used capital letters where I should have put small ones.
But he got the job and turned up at 1.45pm on August 17, 1970 at Muirhouse Library. They had just been open a few months - it was a portable cabin building. They showed me how to use the ticket system, we opened the doors at 2pm and it was non-stop till 5pm; they closed for a tea break, and it was the same till 8.30pm. After an incredibly busy day, with queues out the door the whole day, I went home thinking I will never last, I was so tired.
