Have you discovered our Story Doors Trail yet?

24 local schools have each designed and made a wonderful wooden door based on one of their favourite books. There's one door hidden in each library across BCP and we're challenging you to find as many as possible this summer.

A trail map is available on our website or you can pop into any branch and pick one up. https://www.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/libraries/national-year-of-reading-2026/story-doors-trail

Let us know which doors you've found. They really are amazing!
