Visitors to Holiday Haven Parks can enjoy easy access to books thanks to recently installed street libraries.
All 12 holiday parks are a part of the Holiday Haven Little Library project. A collaboration between Holiday Haven and Shoalhaven Libraries, the street libraries are stocked with pre-loved books in a range of genres suitable for children, teens and adults.
Library staff regularly check the little libraries and re-stock with replacement books when supplies dwindle.
Mayor Amanda Findley is excited about the Holiday Haven Little Library project.
“This is a fabulous initiative that shares the joy of reading. 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,” she said.
“The street libraries are a welcome addition to our Holiday Haven parks, giving visitors and locals access to more reading material, with the added benefit of regular re-stocking by our wonderful library staff.
“There are so many benefits for us all to read for pleasure, both young and old. Curling up with a good book on holidays is one of my favourite ways to spend a holiday,” said Clr Findley.
