Good morning!

We are all missing going to a library to choose new books to enjoy so Miss Richardson has created our very own virtual Tollcross library. You can visit by clicking on the link below. If you click on each book it will take to you to an online copy that you can listen to or read for free! We hope you enjoy exploring the stories and some of the chapters. There will be different books added each week. Happy reading!
