NOTHING can beat the simple pleasure for a child of a story well told.
That is why parents in a community plan to apply for cash to buy story sacks, such as those used by pre-school children at South Moor Library at the weekend.
Parent groups and librarians in South Moor, near Stanley, are looking for others to express an interest in story-telling groups to stimulate the children.
They want National Lottery money to pay for story sacks filled with visual aids, puzzles and informative equipment.
Parent group SureStart is to hold a meeting at the library, on Wednesday, at 1.30pm.
