British Gypsum contributed \u00a34,730 towards a new school library for pupils at Burton-on-the-Wolds Primary School<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

The interior<\/a> of the new school library\u00a0features forest-themed furniture including bespoke shelving in the shape of trees, flower-shaped tables and chairs, and a tree in the centre that children can sit under while they read.<\/p>\n

The school – located near British Gypsum’s Barrow upon Soar site – hopes the new library will boost literacy, and provide new learning opportunities for pupils and children throughout the wider local community.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Head Teacher Claire Wilson commented: “I\u2019m very passionate about children not only learning how to read, but to love reading.<\/p>\n

“Our books were very dated, so we looked into ways that we could fundraise for newer titles. But we also recognised that our library was tired, dull and uninviting, not to mention disorganised \u2013 it needed a complete a transformation to make it into a functional learning space.<\/p>\n

“To really celebrate reading, we knew we\u2019d need a library where children would want to come and spend time, as well as better showcased the books and encouraged engagement with literature.<\/p>\n

Building better communities<\/a><\/h3>\n

\u201c<\/em>We intend to expand this library into a real community space, which local families, the nearby preschool and community groups will also be able to come and enjoy.<\/p>\n

“British Gypsum couldn\u2019t have been more supportive. They\u2019ve helped us to make a real difference to our pupils and we\u2019ve been absolutely delighted by their support.”<\/p>\n
