POPULAR children's author and illustrator Angie Sage was on hand at North Town Primary School to open their new library.

Children and staff dressed up for the occasion and Angie cut the ribbon to officially mark the grand reopening.

The library was recently refurbished and Angie stayed around to do a book signing after school.

Cllr Justine Baker was also present to donate a generous cheque of £1,500 to the school on behalf of Somerset County Council.

She said: “Each county councillor gets health and wellbeing money to give as a grant to schools.

“The money will be used to pay for a workshop to teach children about healthy living and another on drugs awareness.”

A spokesperson from the school said: “We were delighted that Justine chose us and it will make a real difference to the children.”
