The children's library at The Forum, in Elmer Square, will be shut off to the public on Wednesday, and some of Thursday, as a special episode of the BBC Live Lessons series is filmed.

The library for youngsters will be closed off all day on Wednesday, and up until 2pm on Thursday.
A Southend Libraries spokesman said: "Due to filming for a special World Book Day episode of the BBC Live Lessons series, the children's library at The Forum will be inaccessible to the public all day on Wednesday, March 6, and up until 2pm on Thursday, March 7.
"Arrangements will be made to make a small selection of stock available in the foyer area but unfortunately we won’t be able to look for specific books beyond this selection during this time.
"We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."
The Forum is home to the city's Central Library, the People’s Gallery, Focal Point Gallery, University of Essex and South Essex College.
Nosh restaurant can also be found on the ground floor, where it operates independently.
