AN East Cleveland school has plenty to read now following the opening of its new library.
Kilton Thorpe School caters for youngsters aged between two and 19 who have special needs and has just revealed the new library to pupils.
The room has cost £46,000 to build and £2,000 to stock. Staff at the school have raised the money through a variety of fundraising ideas. As well as lots of books, the library has an information communication technology suite, computers, and a speech and language therapy unit.
Headteacher Noreen Robinson said: "The library will enhance our curriculum and encourage our reluctant readers by providing a stimulating environment for them to enjoy books.
"From September, every class is going to have time put in their timetable to spend in the library so it will become a more important part of the learning process."
