A welcoming space for residents to enjoy a wide range of books across many genres. The library operates on an honour system, allowing residents to borrow and return books within a reasonable timeframe so everyone can enjoy the collection.
Borrow any book you like
Keep it for around three weeks
Return it so others can enjoy it
No forms, no fuss — just community trust
The library is refreshed regularly with new titles purchased from the Rotary Club Bookshop on Hastings River Drive and from their annual book sale. These purchases are funded through the OCR Return & Earn Scheme, so every bottle and can helps grow the collection.
Residents are welcome to suggest new titles — simply let Ray know.
Many books come from generous resident donations, which are always appreciated. Because the library is small, duplicate copies can’t be stored — but they are never thrown away. Duplicates are:
swapped with the Rotary Bookshop, or
donated to local charities
No book is ever wasted.
The library is here for everyone’s enjoyment. Browse, borrow, return, repeat — and discover something new each time you visit.
