On the journey from school to the library pupils discussed the differences between the school’s minibus and the public bus such as; making sure to catch the right numbered bus; paying for tickets; sharing the bus with others; and ringing the bell to get off!

Upon reaching their destination, pupils were greeted by enthusiastic librarian Jeanette who gave a tour of the library telling the children some interesting facts including; it is free to join the library and customers can borrow up to thirty books at a time! Pupils were then treated to a storytime and were given a chance to browse the books independently.

Suzanne James, Junior Girls Reception teacher, said:

“Pupils who were already library members had the opportunity to borrow a book and were shown how to use the self-service machines to scan their card and book. The girls who aren’t already members are now very keen to join!”
