School holidays in Cannonvale have become a little brighter thanks to a community-minded resident who has expanded her free book-sharing initiative.
Transported all the way from the Gold Coast and installed with the help of her parents, Rebecca Damsma posted on Facebook announcing the installation of another Street Library.
The colourful new library, located at Whitehaven Crescent in Cannonvale offers something for readers of all ages.
The shelves are thoughtfully organised, with picture books and early readers on the bottom, simple chapter books and middle grade stories in the middle, and young adult novels on the top. To make it even more fun, the young adult shelf also features trinkets, bookmarks and small games.
The original, smaller street library has now been repurposed to hold adult books, with plans for a fresh coat of paint and new labels soon.
Residents are encouraged to “take a book, leave a book, share a book,” with donations of children’s, middle grade and young adult titles especially welcome.
Located on Whitehaven Crescent, Cannonvale, the Whitehaven Book Haven continues to provide a space where stories are shared, imaginations are sparked, and the love of reading is passed on.
