The children listened to “The Queen’s Knickers” by Nicholas Allen, and then decorated their own pair of jubilee knickers which were made into bunting to decorate our children’s library. We enjoyed a picnic in the library, with free teas and coffees for the parents and grandparents, and biscuits for everyone! Everyone had lots of fun ...... and got covered in glitter!

RADIO EXE mentioned the library several times throughout the day and our competition 'Spot the Spider' (a grid based game) went down a storm. About 130 odd people had a go (adults and kids)!

Anyway I believe over 350 people that day must have seen or heard something about the St Thomas Library, which we are happy with.
