New Library for Grove Junior School

Grove Junior School have just opened their new library, a most impressive building built in the school grounds which serves both as a library but also as a place where the pupils can study. The Community Fund of the Harpenden Trust were very pleased to contribute towards the building cost as well as helping towards the purchase of new books. Also Martin Weatherhead, one of the Community Fund members, kindly donated some books himself. 

The pupils are delighted with their new library and Mr Emanuel, the Deputy Headmaster, commented, "The opening of the library is the culmination of many years of hard work by the school, the PTA and the whole community. We are very grateful to the Harpenden Trust for their support and kind donation in facilitating the construction and opening of our wonderful library. The children will benefit greatly from this lovely reading space."
