PUPILS at an independent prep school in East Yorkshire have a restocked and revamped library to enjoy after a York-based children’s author visited to open it.
Pocklington Prep School teacher Jonathan Ott and Pocklington School librarian Angie Edwards spent many months selecting a new book list for the library, as well as the right shelves and furniture to make it welcoming and comfortable.
To celebrate the launch of the new collection, they invited Clementine Beauvais to cut the ribbon and officially declare the library ready for visitors.
Ms Beauvais, author of the Royal Babysitters series, as well as the Sesame Seade mystery series and young adult novel Piglettes, talked to pupils in assembly about being a writer and what inspires her.
She then spent the morning in the library signing books, answering children’s questions, and making bespoke autographs for pupils from her own special collection of coloured pens and stamps.
