CHOOSING books and reading them has never been more fun at one Southampton school, thanks to its new library.

Pupils, parents and staff have helped to raise money for the £10,000 facility at Hollybrook Junior School in Seagarth Lane.

Bean bags, computers, colourful murals and lots more books mean that youngsters at the 236-pupil school have a much better library than before.

Project leader Gemma Rose said: "We owe many thanks to the Parent Teacher Association, who have led the fundraising events, and to all of those people who have given time, donations and suggestions.

"We now have a wonderful new library which will be enjoyed for years to come."
