PAWS-itivity: Children's books about dogs

This summer, we're unleashing 40 colourful dog sculptures, each individually created by local artists, across Suffolk for our PAWS-itivity fundraiser! Our Library Labradors will debut at the Suffolk Show, and then you'll be able to visit the sculptures in our libraries.
