The library has been designed to make reading more interesting for youngsters, with cubby holes and toadstool chairs.

Headteacher Joanne Davenport said: 'It is all to do with our refocus on reading and making it a more attractive environment.

'The children love it, it's a great place for them to enjoy books more than they already do.
