THERE were tears of joy and happiness at a primary school in Sindlesham yesterday as a popular librarian filed her last book before retirement.
Rosie Wigley has been the school librarian at Bearwood Primary School, in Bearwood Road, for the last 27 years and has been such an integral part of the school that she even had the library named after her.
She was presented with flowers and gifts by the pupils and staff at an emotional farewell assembly on Thursday afternoon.
Mrs Wigley, who has seen generations of children pass through the school, now plans to spend more time with her family.
Headteacher Jane Barlow said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to Mrs Wigley for everything she has done during her time here and wish her the best of luck for her future adventures.
“The Wigley Library is a beautiful and calming area where all of the children are able to enjoy and share in Mrs Wigley’s passion for reading. This area will continue to enhance all of our children during their time at our school.
“I have always considered the library to be the heart of the school with Mrs Wigley at the helm. She will be missed but never forgotten.”
