BOOKS have been replaced by computers in a former library at Salford Priors School.

The new IT suite, which was opened on Monday, houses 12 workstations and increases the school's capacity for children to use computers more often.

The school used to have two computers in each room, but now the library has been refitted and cabled with the help of kind parents.

A donation from the Misys Charitable Foundation paid for the machines, while local firm Bomford Turner provided benches and fitted grilles to the windows.

Headteacher Pat Daly said: "It's been a wonderful project, we have had so much help and it has improved our IT provision in a big way."
