The libraries operate on an honour system, and people can take a book without sharing one, but are encouraged to take a book back to share when they have read it. Credit: Rock Kitchen Harris

And finally… the location of a library

Another Little Free Library has cropped up in Leeds, this time courtesy of Taylor Wimpey.

Developers often contribute thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of pounds, towards public amenities for the residents who live on the estates they build.

Now, people living at Woodside Vale, on Clayton Wood Road, can treat themselves to a 24/7 access, ornate book exchange.

Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire has already funded Little Free Libraries in the area, including similar schemes at its Moseley Green development in Cookridge, and at Hornbeam Gardens, in Micklefield.

Lucinda Dickens, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire, said: “We always work to support the communities in which we build, and are delighted to see Woodside Vale become part of this enchanting network of tiny libraries across the city.

“The books are free to take and the boxes are open to everyone, and we hope the community really enjoys its little library for many years to come.”
