Amazing what you can come across when you're not looking for it! Discovered this on the edge of my local park in Canberra whilst out on a Boxing Day stroll...at first I thought someone had dumped a fridge. On further inspection it turned out to be a tiny library complete with books (of course), sunhats, chairs and a postbox for reviews :)
Love the face that local resident(s) have taken the time to set this up and maintain it for the community - great way to spread the reading bug... I got home and googled 'street library' and it turns out there are thousands of these quirky little libraries worldwide (on a principle of take a book and leave a book, or just take a book and bring it back). There could well be one near you, so next time you're out walking keep you're eyes peeled - or why not set one up yourself? :)
