Over 40 sculptures of dogs are to go on display at libraries across Suffolk - all with unique designs by local artists.

The 'Library Labradors' were first unveiled at the Suffolk Show, with an Ed Sheeran inspired design being voted to the favourite.

They'll eventually be auctioned off, but before that library bosses are hoping they'll spread some 'pawsitivity' until then.
