YOUNGSTERS and their parents are invited to join in weekly storytelling sessions starting today.

Story Time at Crown Street Library will run from 9am until 11.30am every Monday until October 17 for pre-school children and their parents or guardians. It is hoped if the sessions are successful, they will be extended.

Lee Vasey, the council's cabinet member for leisure services said: "These sessions will be educational and more importantly fun for the whole family."

For more information on the sessions, call (01325) 349636.
