NURSERY school pupils donned dressing gowns and cuddled up to their teddies to promote bedtime reading.
Youngsters from Darlington Town Hall's workplace nursery, Kids and Co, joined staff from Darlington Library to help promote Bedtime Reading Week and World Book Day.
The children listened to favourite bedtime stories, read by library assistant Elaine Wolstenholme.
Activities throughout the Bedtime Reading Week, which runs from March 11 to 15, will include a bedtime reading challenge in which children who attend the Saturday Story Club will be invited to bring in their favourite stories.
The library's adult reading group will be selecting their favourite bedtime stories. And Darlington Borough Council employees have also been asked to email the library with their choices.
The theme for World Book Day, on March 14, is family reading. To mark the event, the visually impaired reading group recorded childhood reading experiences and talked about books they enjoyed for Darlington's Talking Newspaper
