CHILDREN have created a spring scene at Chester-le-Street Library.

The youngsters, above, designed and made the spring scene during two arts and crafts sessions with Chester-le-Street Sure Start.

The agency for pre-school children ran a number of activities over Easter and operates a Bookstart Club at the library, from 1.30pm every Wednesday. The sessions are free and include stories and songs for pre-school children.

To find out more about the initiatives Sure Start is running in Pelton, Chester West, Pelton Fell, West Pelton, Perkinsville, Grange Villa, and Newfield, contact the Sure Start office on 0191-3875907.
