Local housebuilder Redrow London is celebrating World Book Day by creating a pop-up library at its Colindale Gardens development and is inviting residents and the local community along to pick up a free book to celebrate its launch.

Children across North West London are invited to pick up a FREE book of their choice from Colindale Gardens at 144 Colindale Ave, NW9 5HU, from 6 March, otherwise known as World Book Day.

The books are available to collect from the housebuilder’s newly built pop-up library, which has been installed outside the development’s sale centre. This library offers a wide selection of brand-new books for children of all ages, featuring timeless classics and beloved Roald Dahl stories for the local families to enjoy.
To ensure the library remains well stocked for North West London book lovers, Redrow is calling on the local community to donate their unwanted books to its new library – which Redrow will then match with a brand-new book for children to enjoy. The books can be donated to Colindale Garden’s sales centre where a member of the sales team will collect them.

James Holmear, Groups Sales Director at Redrow, said: “At Redrow, we are committed to creating a positive impact for the local community which helps make Colindale 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 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 on World Book Day, we’re encouraging families of all ages to come along to Colindale Gardens and pick up a free book to enjoy.

“To ensure there’s something for everyone, we’re encouraging anyone living in North West London to donate their unwanted books and pick up one they’re yet to experience. We look forward to welcoming the local bookworms to the latest addition at Colindale Gardens and sharing our love of literature. Happy reading!”

Redrow’s Colindale Gardens has a range of contemporary one and two bedroom homes for sale. The surrounding area of Colindale is continuing to undergo a transformation following significant investment in the Brent Cross and Cricklewood area. These plans will bring a new primary school, local shops, cafes and restaurants within the development as well as a newly refurbished tube station.
