Awesome Street libraries

As the owner/ operator of She sews I have seen the cost of living crisis hitting people hard in Mclarenvale.........both financially but also mentally. Simple community kindness can really make someone's day.

I'd love to purchase two "Awesome"Street Library boxes and install them on Liddiard street on the way to the Shiraz trail. One for children's books with a magical garden underneath and one for general books.

Street Libraries are a beautiful home for books, planted in your front yard. They are accessible from the street, and are an invitation to share the joys of reading with your neighbours.
Street Libraries are a window into the mind of a community; books come and go; no-one needs to check them in or out. People can simply reach in and take what interests them; when they are done, they can return them to the Street Library network, or pass them on to friends.
If anyone has a book or two that they think others would enjoy, they can just pop it into any Street Library they happen to be walking past.
They are a symbol of trust and hope – a tiny vestibule of literary happiness.
