World Book Day, 3 March 2016


Blaenavon Library

World Book Day 2016 was a great success in Torfaen Libraries. The libraries resounded to the sound of enthusiastic children enjoying stories, rhymes and all things bookish.

Year three classes from Blaenavon Heritage VC School visited Blaenavon Library for Roald Dahl themed stories and activities. In Pontypool Library Padre Pio Catholic School brought their year 2 and year 4 classes and Osborne Lodge Nursery brought along 20 under fives.

Library staff and children got into the spirit of the day by dressing up as their favourite book characters.

In Blaenavon Library Roald Dahl's "The Witches" inspired the staff choice of costume. I'm not sure where the pirate came from though.
What'll it be? Walk the plank or be transformed into a disgusting, multi-legged bug with athlete's foot, your choice!



Among the children's costumes, Harry Potter and Star Wars featured prominently as did a variety of princesses.
