Library volunteers dress as famous book characters
Saundersfoot Library has kicked off early celebrations for World Book Day.
The official event is on March 7, but the library began festivities earlier in the week.
Visitors may have seen famous literary characters such as Wally from "Where's Wally?" and the Very Hungry Caterpillar, helping out around the library.
They were seen assisting customers and organising book displays.
The library's volunteers, dressed as various characters, have been praised for bringing the joy of reading to life.
A spokesperson for the library said: "Our volunteers have truly embraced the spirit of the day, bringing characters to life and reminding everyone of the joy of reading."
More characters are expected to appear, including a pirate from one of Jan Stradling's books and Amber Brown from Paula Danzinger's series.
The library is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 4pm, and Saturdays from 10am to 1pm.

They even made our list of the best cheap wireless check: £24 @ Amazon Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth once again sees you stepping into the shoes of Ichiban Kasuga for another acclaimed outing on PS5.

The Fitbit Inspire 3 is a good option if it's your first time using a fitness tracker. It has a bright screen, excellent battery life, and comes included with a 6-month free trial of Fitbit Premium. Our Fitbit Inspire 3 review praised its lightweight design and said this is an "excellent, affordable fitness tracker." Sony's excellent noise-canceling headphones are the best wireless headphones you can buy. They've got stunning sound, epic noise canceling, and a very comfortable fit thanks to a very lightweight and soft cushioning. They earned themselves a 4.5-star rating in our Sony WH-1000XM5 review. We rank the MSI Cyborg 15 as one of the best gaming laptops you can buy. This entry-level model comes equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD and RTX 3050 graphics. While these specs don't compare to more expensive options, you'll still be able to start enjoying the best PC games at moderate settings. TV sale: deals from £109 @ VeryArgos has smart TVs on sale for as low as £109. Keep in mind, the cheap TVs tend to be smaller, 1080p models (which are more suitable for a children's room or guest room). However, the sale also includes larger sets. Amazon and Currys are holding similar check: from £89 @ Currys | from £99 @ Amazon Right now you can save £190 on this Samsung 50-inch 4K TV.

The Hisense U8N isn't just one of the most value-forward TVs of the year, it's one of the best TVs, period. Surprisingly, this excellent deal is still available. As you'll see in our Hisense U8N review, this set features a bright Mini-LED display with impressive backlight control, making it a versatile pick for both bright- and dark-room viewing. Thanks to an array of high-end features, the U8N is a great pick for casual and dedicated gamers, too. Right now you can snag this Asics running tee for just £12. It's lightweight, so it won't slow you down, and wicks sweat off your body to keep you feeling comfortable and dry. Whether you're at the beach, gym or grabbing a coffee, these sandals do the job. They feature a contoured footbed that makes them comfy to walk in, and a hook-and-loop bandage upper dries quickly. Additionally, they complement everything perfectly. A comfortable and reliable pair of shorts, these are great for everything from running on the track to running errands. Make sure to grab a pair now they're on sale for this discount. This is one of the least expensive and least complex coffee makers you'll find from Nespresso. Although its price might not suggest its power, this compact coffee machine can brew 4 different cup sizes and can hold up to 10 used pods. Not only is this one of the best entry-level Nespresso machines, but this particular model also comes with some complementary coffee pods. We discuss everything in detail in our 4-star De'Longhi Stilosa review, but here's the TLDR: the Stilosa is a remarkable machine considering its price. It makes technically wonderful espresso, heats up quickly, and has a very powerful steam wand capable of aerating velvety milk. The Ninja Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 indoor air frying grill is the ultimate small appliance for your home because it combines the functions of an air fryer, grill, oven and more. It's also super easy to clean thanks to its ceramic-coated grills. The second generation appliance has an updated, sleek design with the same functions and benefits as its previous model. The cheapest phone in Samsung's lineup just got cheaper. It features a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, and IP54 rated water and dust resistance. In terms of cameras, it has a 50MP main sensor, 5MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lenses. The Pixel 9a is quite possibly the best budget phone around. It features a 6.3-inch Actua pOLED (2424 x 1080) 120Hz display, Tensor G4 chipset, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Rear cameras include a 48MP (f/1.7) main and 13MP (f/2.2) ultrawide, whereas on the front there's a 13MP (f/2.2) lens. In our Pixel 9a review we said it's the most well-rounded phone you can buy at under £500. The iPhone 16 Pro packs a 6.3-inch 2622 x 1206 OLED display with 120Hz refresh, A18 Pro CPU and 128GB of storage. Rear cameras include a 48MP main (f/1.78), 48MP ultrawide (f/2.2) and 12MP telephoto (5x, f/2.8). There's also a 12MP (f/1.9) front camera. In our iPhone 16 Pro review, we said the Pro is the best value as it packs the same 5x telephoto zoom as the larger Pro Max, but in a smaller design and for less. We were seriously impressed with these tiny but mighty earbuds in our Jlab Jbuds Mini review. They're incredibly compact but deliver excellent sound and up to 20 hours of battery life. They even made our list of the best cheap wireless check: £24 @ Amazon One of the greatest strengths of these low-cost headphones is the amount of playback time they offer between recharges. Battery life runs to 35 hours with noise canceling on, which is 5 hours longer than the flagship WH-1000XM5. They're among the best cheap headphones for travel. Sony's excellent noise-canceling headphones are the best wireless headphones you can buy. They've got stunning sound, epic noise canceling, and a very comfortable fit thanks to a very lightweight and soft cushioning. They earned themselves a 4.5-star rating in our Sony WH-1000XM5 review. Our Honor Pad 9 review said this tablet is great value, and that was at full price. With £100 off, it's even better. While its performance can't beat the iPad's, the Honor Pad 9 delivers a great display, a slim design and 11-hour battery life. We rank the MSI Cyborg 15 as one of the best gaming laptops. This entry-level model comes equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD and RTX 3050 graphics. While these specs don't compare to more expensive options, you'll still be able to start enjoying the best PC games at moderate settings.
