Bookworms would know the expense of buying books. You read them once, put them on the shelf, never to be looked at again. Well, I've got good news fellow worms - Townsville is the home to many Street Libraries! With each specializing in different genres and decorated with charm.
“Street Libraries are a window into the mind of a community; books come and go; no-one needs to check them in or out. People can simply reach in and take what interests them; when they are done, they can return them to the Street Library network, or pass them on to friends”
-Via Street Library Website
