A HOUSEBUILDER has created a pop-up library at its Redditch development – and is inviting children along to pick up a free book to celebrate its launch.
Children across Redditch are invited to collect a free book of their choice from Redrow Midlands’ Silverbrook Meadow development on Foxlydiate Lane.
The books are available from the housebuilder’s new pop-up book-swap library, set up inside the development’s sales centre.
To start the process, the library has been stocked with brand-new editions of popular children’s tales, including Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and the Beanstalk, for families in the area to enjoy.
To ensure the library remains well-stocked, Redrow Midlands is urging the community to swap their unwanted books for somebody else’s unwanted or finished books.
Elaine Cartwright, Redrow Midlands’ sales director, said: “At Redrow, we are committed to creating a positive impact for the local community which helps make Redditch a great place to live – which is why we’re delighted to be launching our first-ever pop-up book swap library.
“Sadly, we know not every child has access to a book of their own, and that this can greatly impact their literacy levels and love of reading.
“To help nurture a passion for literature from an early age, and to ensure no child goes without a book to read, we’re encouraging families of all ages to come along to Silverbrook Meadow and pick up a free book to enjoy.”
