Housebuilder launches South Oxfordshire pop-up library

Redrow South Midlands has installed the library at its Hampden Meadows development in Watlington, offering free books to young readers in South Oxfordshire.

The library is located on the railings outside the park on the Cuxham Road development.

Andrew Newman, sales director for Redrow South Midlands, said: “At Hampden Meadows, we are committed to building strong local communities that help make Oxfordshire such a fantastic place to live – which is why we’re delighted to be launching our pop-up library.

“We know that not every child has access to books of their own, and that this can greatly impact developing their literacy 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 Hampden Meadows and swap a book.

“We look forward to welcoming local bookworms to the latest addition at Hampden Meadows and sharing our love of literature.”

The library currently features a limited number of books and operates on a first-come, first-served basis.

To keep it stocked, Redrow South Midlands is encouraging the community to donate unwanted or outgrown children’s books.

The development itself offers a selection of three to five-bedroom homes.

It is located in a well-connected area of Oxfordshire with transport links to London.
