New library assistant springs into action

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Meet Spud, the new library assistant at Blockhouse Bay Intermediate School.

Easter came early to the school when the bunny appeared in the school gardens a few weeks ago.

Staff tracked down the owner who was moving house and asked if they could take care of the friendly fellow.

Spud is hoppily settling into his new role as the library bunny.
