Toddlers enjoyed a storytime session with their MP at Bedale Community Library.
Rishi Sunak, MP for Richmond, kept a longstanding promise to read to youngsters at the library which became a volunteer-run community library in Bedale Hall earlier this year.
Mr Sunak read a series of favourites including Spot Bakes a Cake, Maisy Goes By Plane and How Many Legs? to the children and their parents/carers.
Mr Sunak said: "I have followed the library's progress from being a local authority-run facility to being firmly established as an entirely volunteer-run community hub.
"It is good to see it is doing so well and I was delighted to be able to return to lead the storytime session."
The library is this week (October 9-14) celebrating National Libraries Week and holds a coffee morning for volunteers, friends and supporters on Wednesday, November 1, between 10am and noon in Bedale Hall.
