Meet Goldie, head library monitor of Goldie’s St

Meet Goldie, head library monitor of Goldie’s Street Library in Norwood, SA. Goldie’s library offers a range of eclectic books and is set back nice and deep on the verandah of a beautiful federation-era building, well-protected from the elements.

Her human (and librarian), Jo, says Goldie welcomes other humans to take, give and share books from her library. Apparently Goldie will politely accept your pats when approached with caution.

Meow!

Look at these angels. This is Team Ellipsis who recently completed the UTS Shopfront Community program at @utsengage. They did a wonderful job to create a range of digital assets that we're looking forward to rolling out and sharing with you over the coming weeks, months and years!

Thanks to Alicia, Bonnie, Cass, Jhanvi and Tina, and to the members of the Street Librarian community who assisted these students with the anecdotal info that helped with the creation of some very sweet storytelling tools!

Little Ghosts Street Library in Bundoora, VIC is

Little Ghosts Street Library in Bundoora, VIC is a recent addition to the Street Library community, and Street Librarian Leah has pulled out all the stops in decorating this little gem. She sees it as an expression of her family’s love for both reading and each other.

“Our library was born from our love of reading. I am an avid horror/ thriller/ crime reader and love all things spooky. My sons are also little bookworms and I often call my babies my ‘little ghosts’. Hence, our street library is named in honour of our two beautiful sons.”

Leah and her little ghosts even offer a 'Kindness Box' where library patrons might find little treats to take, and they encourage visitors to leave a message in the Little Ghosts Guest Book when they stop by.

Friendly little ghosts!

The Honeybee Library in Middle Ridge, QLD, is one

The Honeybee Library in Middle Ridge, QLD, is one of the newer libraries on the literary block and Street Librarian Jo says that while the painting and decorating of the library was a passion project for her family, establishing the library itself has been a real community effort.

“This little library was generously built by our local Men’s Shed… some of the books have been kindly donated by our local council library,” says Jo.

“We hope this makes books more accessible for people who can’t get to the library. Or causes them to take delight in discovering a book as they walk past this little street library; children on their way home from school or the corner shop, or mums and dads walking past with a pram.”

“Seeing people stop to browse the books has been such a thrill!”

Welcome to the Street Library map, Honeybee!

We know this image is not for the faint-hearted book lover, and can confirm it pained the individual responsible greatly to do this. But all in all, we're very pleased to share that reports are filtering in from the Street Librarian community of Geocache discoveries inside libraries. Seems like a match made in heaven!

Read more via the blog page on our website. ☝️

Have you made any geocache discoveries in your local Street Library?

New product alert! We have a handsome, practical,

New product alert! We have a handsome, practical, and very limited new Street Library for sale. Meet the imaginatively titled ‘Limited Edition’ - a Street Library model limited to a one-off run of 16 for those who like to be a little different.

This Street Library measures approximately 56cm internally at its highest point, allowing your library to hold books that are larger in size or making it possible to accommodate a really fine stack (rivaling your TBR pile). The original pitched roof remains for those who like a library with a more traditional look and a storybook feel.

We're predicting this little fella will sell out quickly so if he takes your fancy please don't dally.

Visit our website for more info. ☝️

Big love and huge props to the community of Wardel

Big love and huge props to the community of Wardell on the NSW North Coast, who have experienced the full effect of the flooding in Northern New South Wales this year.

They are lucky to have WardellCORE, a community-centred recovery and service hub focused on wellbeing and social care. Their aim is to improve people’s lives beyond the point of disaster recovery and support the community to create a shared vision for the future.

This beautiful little handmade Street Library has been lovingly constructed by volunteer Cheryl with support from the organisation’s handyman, Bob. We hope their initiative and enthusiasm helps to strengthen and unite this community even further.

So many bonus points for the dog leash hook. Superb.
