Press Pack: School turns bus into library!

Kids at a London school have been showing off their new and rather unusual library - which started life as a BUS!

The school was forced to turn their old library into a classroom, after taking on an especially large number of pupils one year.

So an imaginative group of parents came up with this idea to give the children somewhere nice to read.

It took eight months to do up and the kids even helped to paint it.

The bus library was opened by top author Michael Morpurgo. He's even written a story inspired by the bus!

Press Packer Seamus reports.
