Read and Release books
As part of our celebrations of the National Year of Reading 2012, Mandurah Libraries are releasing hundreds of "Read and Release" books throughout the year.
These books are for you to take away and enjoy. When you have finished with the Read and Release book, release it to a friend, a neighbour or leave it on a train or park bench for someone else to read. These books are labelled inside the front cover like the one below.
We will be setting up several Read and Release drop-off points around Mandurah but this week you have two extra opportunities to pick one up.
- Wednesday 2nd May, 7-9pm at Cafe Pronto
during this month's meeting of The First Wednesday Book Club (all welcome), and
- Saturday May 5th and Sunday May 6th, between 10.30am-4pm each day
near the Books-To-Go book cubby in the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre foyer
during Mandurah's 11th Annual Stretch Festival.
Look out for the sign below then help yourself to a book and enjoy.
If you'd like to let us know where you have released a Read and Release book, send us an email with "Read and Release" in the subject line to manlib@mandurah.wa.gov.au
