FATHER Christmas can be found nestled between the bookshelves of a library this week.

Clayport Library, in Durham, has given Father Christmas and his elves a prime spot for his grotto, where he will be until Christmas Eve.

Children can visit him between 10am and noon, and from 2pm to 4pm.

Visits are free, but any donations will be given to the Treetops unit, the children's ward at the University Hospital of North Durham.
