World Book Day Library Visit
As part of our World Book Day celebrations Cross Fell took a trip to our local library. It was lovely to meet the librarians and spend time looking at a range of different fiction and non- fiction books.
Lynne the librarian read us a story and told us all about how we could become members of the library and get our own library cards.
What a treat to spread our love of reading out into the community!
