Kaleen Heights Street Library

34 Darby Street, Kaleen, Australian Capital Territory 2617, AU

Huge selection of books, puzzles and games - all in a walk-in greenhouse. Take one, leave one.

Our story started sometime in 2019 with a small wooden bookcase. Over the years, we upgraded to a hot pink metal filing cabinet and eventually added two pop-up greenhouses. We also branched out from having ‘just’ books to also offering puzzles and games.

With the amazing financial support of our local community, we upgraded yet again in late 2024: Kaleen Heights Street Library is now inside a walk-in greenhouse! We are home to an ever changing range of books, puzzles and games.

You can also follow us on Facebook – just search for Kaleen Heights Street Library.

And here is how it works:
