Five-day-old baby becomes youngest member of St Helens library service
A five-day-old baby is the latest member of St.Helens Council’s growing library service.
The council recently ran a competition to find out who their youngest borrower was. The winner was Rianna Latham, who was only 5 days old when she joined Central Library, Victoria Square,
St.Helens.
The council currently has almost 42,000 borrowers ranging in age from five days to 104 years of age.
Kathy Johnson, the council’s new Head of Libraries, presented Rianna and her parents with vouchers and books, and a selection of baby gifts which were kindly donated by Morrisons
supermarket.
The competition was run as part of the library service’s celebrations for this year’s National Year of Reading.
