Bipin Dattani

Everyone at the library has been deeply shocked and saddened by the sudden and unexpected death of our volunteer Bipin Dattani. He approached us in the summer of 2022 offering an IT class for adults, and immediately became an important part of the library. We struggled to attract people to our temporary premises, but Bipin’s classes were immediately very popular, and remained so until we closed Ashley Gardens last Christmas. Whether it was his regular Saturday classes or any number of one-off events, Bipin brought extraordinary energy and enthusiasm to everything he did. And of course Preston Library was just a minor outpost of Bipin’s empire – last year he won both the Health and Wellbeing Award and the Volunteer of the Year from Harrow Council. He will be greatly missed by all of us.
