The purpose of this commission in a newly opened library is to clearly identify the children's section using a magical theme. Scenes depict children reading under a story tree, a dragon and it's treasure, flying baby dragons, a winged horse and a seated griffin. A Surestart funded project.

The children's library was transformed into a formal garden populated by animals, birds and fish including a peacock, a swan, a fox, goats, a badger and rabbits. To maximise the visual impact and ensure the safety of young children the area was enclosed inside a themed boundry with a single 'pagoda' entrance.

The refurbishment of this large children's library involved the creation of a colourful, jungle environment. Trees and vines are home to a variety of animals. Around the room you can find a gorilla, an elephant, an ocelot, several monkeys and parrots, an anteater, a tiger and a hippo. A project funded by City of York Council and Chartwell Land.

This is a new Surestart library specifically aimed at children under five. The theme draws on nursery rhymes and fairy tales. A central cottage includes book storage and seating and around the room children can find 'Five Little Ducks', 'Hickory Dickory Dock', 'Mary Mary', 'Jack and Jill', 'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'Billy Goats Gruff' to name but a few.
