PUPIls have been flicking through the pages in the new library at Silsden's Hothfield School.

Storyteller, performance poet and former librarian Alec Williamson opened the school's new library on Monday.

From next week, the library will be open after school hours -- from 3.45-4.15pm -- every Monday for youngsters to exchange their books.

Parents and guardians are welcome to join their children during that period.
