Library manager, Kay Turnbull, said: “Every great team needs a mascot, so that seemed a great place to start.
"The children were very creative in making their own characterful mascot and also helped stitch the huge banner – which is a work in progress.
"They also decorated their own kit bag for their own sporting interest, but lots of them chose to do one side sport and the other side books, which shows their love of reading too.”

Booking is essential for each of the sessions as there are limited spaces.
However, so there is no disappointment for those events that are full, the craft activities will be repeated the following Tuesday, from 3.30pm to 4.30pm, for those on the waiting list a drop-in session.
There is also still time to sign up to the Summer Reading Challenge itself at the library and get stickers and prizes along the way.
Kay added: “It is such a great way for local children to to keep up with their reading habits through the holidays – and best of all its free.”
