SUPER Atko made the day for children at a Darwen primary school when he arrived to open a new library.
Mark Atkins, the Blackburn Rovers star, turned his talents from football to cut the ribbon at the new showpiece library at St James' School, Darwen.
The new facility was officially opened after more than a week of events to celebrate the new library.
