A community street library is a communal 'box of things' (usually books) that people can contribute to or borrow from.
Ingredients:
- A private or public space to put a library
- A box, cabinet on legs or on a ledge or pole
- A sign ie: "The Mullalyup Street Library"
- Books or other items for the library (you can do a community call out)
- An invitation (online or letterbox drop!)
Method:
- Find a reasonably prominent place people walk by, find or make a box with a lid or door so people can open and shut it.
- Place it somewhere people can reach it.
- Pop a sign on it so people know what it is and invite them to use it!
- Then put a call out for locals to contribute books and other items others in your community maybe interested in borrowing!
