Residents of Gargett now have a new space to enjoy books, thanks to the local Men’s Shed, which has created a small, but mighty, community library for everyone to use.
“If you’re like me, I don’t like to throw my books away, so I got in touch with the Men’s Shed and they’ve made a fabulous library for us, as well as a good supply of books,” said a representative from Gargett store.
“It’s here for everyone to use, so please make use of it. Thank you, Mirani Men’s Shed.”
The initiative has been warmly welcomed by locals, offering a chance for residents of all ages to access reading materials without leaving the town. The handcrafted library features a variety of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, and children’s books, making it a resource for both entertainment and education.
The Men’s Shed, known for its hands-on community projects, took the time to design and build a welcoming space that reflects the needs of the Gargett community. Volunteers have stocked the library with donated books, ensuring that there’s something for everyone.
Community members are encouraged to visit, borrow a book, and take advantage of this new local resource. By fostering a love of reading and providing a place to connect, the library exemplifies the spirit of collaboration and care that the Men’s Shed brings to the area.
