World Book Day

Today we celebrated World Book Day in the company of Black Horse Hill Infant School.The chiildren come to the library in classes for stories and fun, dressed as their favourite storybook characters. To add to the fun, the teachers dress up too! This year Laura and I (Julie) also dressed up as the characters Meg the witch and Mog her cat from the "Meg & Mog" stories. We had a really great day!

I did not take any photos of the children; but I wanted to capture some of the flavour of the day so here are pictures of the adults!

Our thanks go to Mrs Crook (Paddington Bear) who organised it all, to the teachers who enter into the spirit of the day so enthusiastically, the children who make it all worthwhile...and not forgetting the parents, grandparents and other helpers who accompany the children and keep them safe.

My personal thanks to Laura, who is just so good with the children and who worked so hard today!
