Newcastle's Eldon Square is offering youngsters the chance to borrow books from a new library that has opened inside the shopping centre.
The Little Library, based at Greys Quarter, opposite Chatime tea bar, features new and pre-loved children’s books. It is open from 11am to 4pm, seven days per week, until May 2, to give young shoppers the chance to read and borrow books and also take part in pop-up storytime events with guest speakers.
Suitable for children aged 12 and under, the event aims to increase reading opportunities for youngsters across the North East. It comes following a partnership with the Read North East campaign from the National Literacy Trust, and the North East’s largest baby bank, Clothe and Feed.
