Purford Green pupil takes on big Christmas read in charity challenge yourharlow.com/2020/12/05/pur…

There’s nothing like a library display! This one is in Tye Green Library and it’s all about the winter reading challenge - read six books to get your animal stamps. All Harlow libraries will be taking part - so support your local library when open and click and collect when not.

Following latest Government guidance most Essex libraries are temporarily closed to the public. 16 sites remain open to offer public computer access by appointment only. You can still collect your reservations from your chosen library. Find out more: ow.ly/bmYt50CczJl
