A fun new chapter at school.

THE reopening of a school library has been celebrated with colourful costumes.

Children from Ysgol Bro Sannan, in Aberbargoed, dressed up as characters from their favourite books as part of a series of events marking the upgrading of the school library.

Other events celebrating the revamp included a Bedtime Story Day, when pupils came to school wearing pyjamas and brought along their favourite bedtime story book.

S4C presenter Arwel Roberts visited the school to officially open the new-look library and children's author Michael Harvey is due to attend the school for a storytelling session after this week's half-term break.

The new library features a special mural of Welsh book characters and a cosy reading corner for children to settle down with a good story.

Teacher Ceri Price said the school is very grateful to parents, who kindly donated a wide range of brand new and good quality second hand books for the library.

She said: "We owe a big thank-you to all the parents. We've been really pleasantly surprised by the amount of support we've got.

"There's a lot of excitement about the new library in school and we've had a really good week of activities celebrating reading in preparation for its opening."
