Street Library Australia will facilitate its second annual National Shared Reading Week (NSRW) from Monday 28 October until Sunday 3 November 2024. During National Shared Reading Week, more than 100 street librarians will host shared reading events at street libraries around the country to celebrate books and reading with their communities.
It’s always a bit of a mystery fossick when one wanders around to the nearest street library – usually a DIY project – lovingly painted and decorated by the owners to lure passersby to reach in, spy and take away a book or two within this free depository. Among the dog-eared airport thrillers languishing, there may be a few surprises to pique interest.
