13.01.2022 Coles mini book search party: anyone have books 8, 9, 13 and 14 that they'd like to donate? If so, can you pop them at my front door, or strategically hide them in the library?

13.01.2022 Just in case there are any other budding street librarians out there

12.01.2022 Some perfect summer reads just got dropped into the library #rundontwalk

11.01.2022 We have the perfect location - books in the laneway and Fuoco Cafe at the other end. What more could we need?

11.01.2022 Don’t forget your local small businesses at the moment - sent a FB message to Dog Eared Books - The Pennant Hills Book Exchange last night and picked up a stack of books for the kids this morning (including a signed book by Allison Tait!) Our little library is overflowing too so jump in and grab what you want, I’ve been disinfecting it regularly #streetlibrariesofaustralia

11.01.2022 Love this - I woke this morn to hear people rummaging through the library and chatting. Sounds dorky but it’s awesome. I got a stack of new books donated last night so I’ll clean out some old ones that haven’t moved and pop in some new ones.

11.01.2022 I had a chat with Hornsby Advocate this morning about the councils proposal for a checklist for future street libraries in the area. I explained how well our little space works, how lovely it is to see so many people respecting books, taking, keeping, swapping and chatting about books. Well done little laneway library community
