In celebration of World Book Day, Redrow South Midlands has opened a pop-up library at their popular development, Hedera Gardens.
The Royston housebuilder has prepared the library to give children the chance to grab a free book of their choice.
The collection includes brand-new editions of loved children's tales like Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and the Beanstalk.
Andrew Newman, sales director for Redrow South Midlands, said: "We’re delighted to be launching our first ever pop-up library.
"Sadly, we know that 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 ensure there’s something for everyone, we’re encouraging children living in Royston to donate their unwanted books and pick up one they’re yet to experience.
"We look forward to welcoming Royston's bookworms to the latest addition at Hedera Gardens and sharing our love of literature.”
The pop-up library is positioned outside the development’s show home and is designed out of recycled materials.
Redrow's own apprentices completed the construction by painting the library in the company’s ruby-red colour.
Since the number of books is limited and allocated on a first come, first serve basis, Redrow is encouraging the community to donate their unwanted books to stock the library.
