CHILDREN'S Laureate Anne Fine will open a school's library next week.
The best-selling North-East children's author will speak to students and sign books during her visit to Moorside Community School, in Consett, on Wednesday, July 10.
The occasion will mark a transition for the school library, which has developed from books on a few shelves in the English department to a dedicated area with more than 2,500 volumes.
Pupils at the school will also be presented with a signed copy of an Anne Fine book.
