Reading is Dreaming With Eyes Open

130 Quarry Rd, North Ryde, NSW, 2112

There is no enjoyment like reading!

Lead by their teacher Ms Hristofski, and with the assistance of class parents, Boronia Park Public School’s 3/4H class are the artists behind this beautifully painted Street Library.

The City of Ryde is working with the community to share books through the installation of Street Libraries in our public domain.

Our Street libraries offer a range of benefits to the community including:
• Encouraging books to be recycled and shared;
• Providing any member of the community access to literature and the joys of reading;
• Providing opportunities for community members to meet, connect and socialise;
• Enlivening and activating public spaces.

This project aims to increase community activation through installing Street Libraries throughout our public domain. The libraries work on an honesty system with the motto “Take a book; leave a book”.

Council’s City Activation team are leading the project, which works with community groups to design and paint the libraries. A location for the street library is identified, and a suitable custodian of the street library is sourced. The custodian is typically a business that is located adjacent to the library whose role is to monitor and maintain the library, and communicate with Council.
