Children will be getting breakfast with their books during the summer holidays at several local libraries as the popular scheme returns to Sandwell.

Cereal Readers is a library initiative in which children and their parents are invited to share a bowl of cereal and a glass of fruit juice as they take part in book related activities at the library during school holidays.

All the refreshments have been provided by local supermarkets and community groups and all the sessions are run by library volunteers

Councillor Syeda Khatun, deputy leader of Sandwell Council, said: "Cereal readers has proven to be very popular with local families and we are very grateful for the donations from local companies as well as the time given by our valued volunteers.

Councillor Simon Hackett, cabinet member for children's services said: "It's great to see so many children are enjoying 'Cereal Readers' and visiting libraries during the school holidays.

"We do lots to encourage parents and carers to take their children to libraries and having a breakfast on offer for the is a great incentive."
