A NURSERY is going back to basics to introduce the next Internet generation to the wonders of books.
St Wilfrid's Nursery, Bishop Auckland is making sure the printed word is not overlooked, by taking toddlers on regular trips to Woodhouse Close Library, where children learn how to take out books and use the service.
Nursery teacher Yvonne Burton said: "We want to get them interested in books from the outset. Once they have that interest, they never lose it."
