Angela Wright, Worcestershire County Council's Redditch Library manager, said: "After waiting so patiently for the end of our refurbishment, we thought Redditch people deserved something special.

“February is our membership campaign – we thought long and hard about a topic that would appeal to a lot of users and decided our theme would be chocolate since good chocolate and good reading go so well together.

“We're really looking forward to welcoming users new and old to our beautiful, bright new library."
