Description

The Burnley Library Committee discuss new ventures and children visit the library at Christmas. There are shots of the committee as they meet in a wood-panelled room and refer to a map of the Burnley district. There follow scenes of general activity inside the library at Christmas. Children gather round a nativity display and a library assistant issues books to children as a christmas tree twinkles in the background.
