Keith said: “This is one of the most enjoyable parts of my year as President, seeing the children’s faces as I hand them out and they dive into reading weird and wonderful facts about sabre-toothed tigers, dinosaurs and much more.

“The Rotary club has been giving out dictionaries for many years, so eventually every child will get one.

"Many children do not own a book of their own to keep and we find it very well received.”

This year’s books cost the club £1,200, which it raises through events such as the Town Bonfire and fireworks show and bucket collections.

President Keith Talbot is also looking for more people to join the Warwick Rotary Club to help them with the work members do in the community.
