24.01.2022 It’s Library Lovers Day! AKA Valentines Day. Why not skip the restaurant and curl up with a good book? Lots of new books in the library, including some great picture and chapter books to keep the kids amused while you relax.

23.01.2022 The sun is out and the library is full to bursting again! Thanks for the donations - some great books in there, including books on mindfulness and wellness for those New Years resolutions.

23.01.2022 On a beautiful sunny day, we like to go adventuring! Today our wanders took us past the Union St book and DVD exchange in Tighes Hill. Some treasures there - definitely one to check out!

20.01.2022 Happy Easter! New books in the library today for all your holiday reading needs, plus a little bit of extra fuel for good measure.

20.01.2022 The Librarian-in-Chief has ruthlessly culled her non-fiction shelves, which means there are lots of new books heading to the little library. Travel, memoir, biography, food writing and history - drop by if you feel like a wintry read.

20.01.2022 Better look busy, the head librarian has arrived.

20.01.2022 Getting ready for Newcastle Writers Festival this weekend? The library is absolutely chock-a-block with new books - come by and grab a few if you feel like stocking up on some great fiction!

18.01.2022 The library is jam-packed at present with great kids books, as well as some cracking non-fiction and international reads! If your weekend could be improved by a new read, pop by and take a look.

17.01.2022 Big thanks to the local who saw our library door needed a new window, and dropped off some spare Perspex the next time he jogged by! A bit of scoring, snapping & drilling later and voila, the library is weatherproof again. Thanks to all who make our community great.

16.01.2022 Two of my absolute favourite kids books in the library today! Actually, forget about the kids - just pick them up for yourself

15.01.2022 Today was Library Lovers Day! A day to appreciate your local lending libraries. We felt very loved here at the Little Library - someone dropped off these gorgeous handpainted bookmarks. Plenty of new books in there too!

14.01.2022 Looking for a nostalgic comfort read? Say hello to your friends - we have had a massive donation of classic Babysitters Club books, with the first tranche in the library ready to borrow!

11.01.2022 Great little article from Newy With Kids! There are street libraries popping up all over the place in Newcastle, which is great to see.

10.01.2022 Did you hear this great story on ABC Newcastle about Amy Hooper’s street library in The Hill? We’re chuffed that Chinchen Street Little Library got a shout-out too - thanks Amy!

08.01.2022 The street library has been super popular while we have all been spending more time at home. More books going in today - but if you’ve been thinking of dropping off some books to share, now is the perfect time!

08.01.2022 This little guy appeared at the library on Halloween - love to see new visitors drop by! On another note - the library needs to undergo a little bit of maintenance to repair the cracked front window. If anyone has a spare sheet of thin Perspex lying around (perhaps from an old poster frame?), we would love to take it off your hands and recycle it for the library.

06.01.2022 If a new year means a new you, we’ve got just the books to help you achieve your goals. Plus new crime, literary fiction, classics and much more.

05.01.2022 Lots of new kids chapter books in the little library! Plus funny short stories and awesome fact books for the QI-loving person in your life.

04.01.2022 If your household loves Where’s Wally, there are some treats for you in the little library right now! Lots of kids books and great summer reads as well.

01.01.2022 Just a few of the huge pile of books from a very generous donor that will be filling the library over the next few weeks! Drop by if you need something new to read (or grab an old favourite).
