This year’s World Book Day celebrations marked the official opening of a new school library at Abbey Primary in Kilwinning, as well as a donation of £250.
House builder Taylor Wimpy also provided a free copy of its ‘Ecotastic Activity’ book for every pupil in Primary 4 and Primary 5 as well as the cash sum.
Celebrating 25 years, World Book Day aims to encourage children of all ages to enjoy and appreciate the pleasures of reading.
Andrew Falconer, principal teacher at Abbey Primary, said: “World Book Day is a fantastic initiative which really encourages children to develop their reading.
"Thanks to Taylor Wimpey’s donation, we’ll be able to add some new books to our new school library and we can’t wait for pupils to get stuck into some new stories.”
