Street Library Australia

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. "Take a book, give a book, share a book". 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. The program cultivates community trust, encourages reading, and promotes a gifting economy across Australia. Participation is completely voluntary, with individuals building, painting, and maintaining Street Libraries for communal use, with registration on a national map for discoverability
