Back to their books in a library on wheels
Published Date:

A PRIMARY school that turned its library into a classroom to meet the demands of new pupils has taken delivery of a new mobile to fill the gap.
Whissendine Primary School is leasing a mobile library from Leicestershire County Council while arrangements for a new school library are made.
The existing library was turned into an extra classroom after a large number of pupils joined the school when it achieved an outstanding Ofsted rating in 2007.
The mobile library was opened by children's author and illustrator Debi Gliori, who visited the school as part of a book week.
She read extracts from her latest book The Trouble With Dragons and visited pupils in their classrooms.
Pupils have already personalised the mobile with their own work and introduced a reading area with bean bags.
Deputy headteacher Megan Lucas said: "The library is a big priority for the school. We have stocked the mobile with our existing books and are doing some fundraising in the near future to raise money for new ones."
