This Library is located right at a bus Stop that serves many Routes at Ashgrove West. It is also located right outside the Community Garden being created as a nice place to just sit and relax, and where a reading bench is being installed. Also it is in the Ashgrove West Shopping Area and only 20 metres from a delightful cake and coffee shop to assist you to sit in the garden to read and sip.
This Street Library is a project of the Ashgrove Uniting Church for the community around us. It is also very close to Ashgrove State School and is passed by many kids each day as well as commuters.. The library has been painted by local artist ,Glenyth McKenzie, on three sides with pictures of birds found locally Once this library is flourishing we will also put another at the pedestrian crossing to the school. The congregation has a large pool of books to put in our library and keep the books turning over until the public get used to the idea that Books don’t have owners, only users and carers.
