Altona Meadows’ school latches on to novel idea

An Altona Meadows school has opened Hobsons Bay’s smallest library.

Queen of Peace Parish Primary School has joined a growing movement, installing a ‘street library’ at the front of the school.

Street Library Australia was founded by Nic Lowe in Sydney in 2015. It involves installing a box of books accessible from the street in mainly residential areas or on school property.

Queen of Peace grade 5 teacher Belinda Bartolo said the school hoped the library would help build connections with the community.

“It promotes a love of reading for both our students and people in our community.”
