Named Pteropus Public Bookcase to honour flying foxes (megabats in the genus Pteropus). They are a mammal native to the area in which the bookcase resides, an underloved yet important pollinator. They are intelligent, curious, gentle and social travellers.
This street library is also a tribute to my mother, Catherine, who passed away from Leukaemia in 2024. She inspired in me a lifelong love of reading, and who was an avid reader herself. She taught me to have a kind heart and an open mind.
Guidelines are:
1. Give a Book: Do you have books you’d like to share? Leave your book to swap it with others.
2. Take a Book: If you see a book you’d like to read, take it.
3. Share a Book: Return books to any street library or book swap. Or pass them on to a friend, neighbour or relative.
4. Flying Free: These books are free, never for sale.
5. Keep It Kind: You are free to leave feedback about the content of the books for consideration.
