PADGATE Library will give away 50 books as part of a campaign to encourage children to read.

On Saturday, the copies of bestselling children's book Diary Of A Wimpy Kid will be handed out.

The library on Insall Road is one of 200 taking part in the national Just Read initiative.

Supported by the Reading Agency, it is aimed at getting parents to spend ten minutes a day reading with children.

As well as the giveaway, children who visit the library on Saturday can take part in a themed treasure hunt and craft activities.

All are welcome between 10am and noon.
