A local housebuilder is encouraging youngsters to read more by creating a pop-up library at its Newton development – and is inviting local children along to pick up a free book to celebrate its launch.
Children across Nottinghamshire are invited to pick up a FREE book of their choice* from Redrow East Midlands’ Newton Garden Village, in Newton.
The books are available to collect from the housebuilder’s newly built pop-up library, which has been installed outside the development’s show home. The library includes brand-new editions of popular children’s tales, featuring a range of mythical monsters, royal princesses and cute animals, for local families in the area to enjoy.
Focusing on Redrow’s drive for sustainability, the library is made out of natural wood and has been hand-painted in Redrow’s signature ruby-red shade.
Spreading the words far and wide, Redrow East Midlands has also introduced a book swap at Redrow at Nicker Hill, in Keyworth. The books are available to collect from the sales centre’s specially designated reading corner, with a library box offering a range of classic children’s reads.
To ensure the library remains well-stocked for Nottinghamshire’s book lovers, Redrow is calling on the local community to swap their unwanted books for somebody else’s finished reads. To take part, bookworms in the community can visit Newton Garden Village or Redrow at Nicker Hill to browse through the library and make an exchange.
To celebrate the launch of the library, Redrow East Midlands also arranged for local storyteller, Jake Evans, to host an exciting reading session with pupils at Bingham Primary School.
Ryan O’Sullivan, Sales Director for Redrow East Midlands, said: “At Redrow, we are committed to creating a positive impact on the local community which help make Nottinghamshire a great place to live – which is why we’re delighted to be launching our first ever pop-up library.
“Sadly, we know that not every child has access to books 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 Newton Garden Village or Redrow at Nicker Hill and pick up a free book to enjoy.
“To ensure there’s something for everyone, we’re encouraging anyone living in Nottinghamshire to donate their unwanted books and pick up one they’re yet to experience. We look forward to welcoming Nottinghamshire’s bookworms to the latest addition at Newton Garden Village and sharing our love of literature. Happy reading!”
