To continue its outreach in the local community, Nottinghamshire developer Barratt Homes has donated a range of books to Inspire’s Worksop Library.

The library, which is close to the homebuilder’s Knight’s View development on Doncaster Road has been at the heart of the local community for many years, offering books to suit everyone.

Barratt Homes’ contribution consisted of over forty books, ranging from classic children’s stories like Michael Rosen’s ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’, to adult novels like Jane Fallon’s ‘Over Sharing’.
