LIBRARIES across St Helens have been marking national share-a-story month with a dragon theme.

A number of dragon reading, rhyming and craft events are being held at the borough's libraries to encourage residents to pick up a book.

Reuben Walker was amongst children and parents who enjoyed read and rhyme at Central Library.

For anyone who has not had a chance to go to one of the sessions, Eccleston Library is holding dragon storytelling today (Thursday) at 4pm and dragon read and rhyme time tomorrow (Friday) at 10.30am.

Rainhill Library is running a dragon read and rhyme time tomorrow at 10.30am and there will be dragon crafts at Parr Library on May 27 at 2.30pm.
