Feel-good vibes and community support are practica

Feel-good vibes and community support are practically on tap at the Manor Road Community Library and Hub in Hornsby, NSW.

This Street Library was gifted to the residents of the area and the Community Fire Unit by @hornsbycouncil, who purchased one of our Council Grant Packs.

“We love our community and we love gathering in the natural environment. The resilience of the community can only be strong when we build good relationships with one another. This library now belongs to all in our street.” Jacqui, Street Librarian

We love seeing our libraries out in the community,

We love seeing our libraries out in the community, but we're the first to acknowledge that Street Libraries can come in all different shapes and sizes. If it's accessible to the community and it has books inside - it's a Street Library. We want to register and map them all!

Check out some of these weird, wonderful and often simple varieties. Use what you have.

The families of Dido St Early Learning Centre in K

The families of Dido St Early Learning Centre in Kiama, held a pie drive to raise funds to purchase a Two Story House Street Library for their community. The library has been lovingly decorated and fit out with props to encourage storytelling through role play (for children and their grownups!).

“The children love finding new books inside. It is like a present. The fact that there is no exchange of money is so surprising for them and puts a big smile on their face that they can just take a book of choice without paying.” - Kate, Street Librarian

The Little Blue Library in Canberra is a beautiful

The Little Blue Library in Canberra is a beautiful example of repurposing and upcycling as well as a generous contribution to the community.

“I liked the idea of making a Street Library but I also wanted to recycle something. I managed to get a secondhand dollhouse that I pulled apart and reconfigured to make our street library. I used some secondhand colourbond wall for the roof and my son and I painted it with paint we already had. We also created some designs on the outside.” - Tracy, Street Librarian

Takesy-Leavsy Street Library take one, leave one! A simple idea for sharing good books 🙂

Giving our books another chance to be read! Our idea is to only put good stuff in, including adult and children’s books, with the intent to share great stories and discovers new ones. - Street Librarian
