Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties has unveiled a brand-new outdoor library at its Whiteley development, The Copse at Woodlands Chase, creating a unique community space designed to encourage reading for all ages.
The initiative aims to strengthen community ties by offering residents and visitors access to a wide selection of adult and children’s books on a simple “bring and borrow” basis. The outdoor library will act as an ever-evolving hub for book lovers, helping to nurture a shared love of reading within the growing neighbourhood.
