Lilliput Libraries

The Lilliput Libraries project was born in 2015. The Libraries are painted by volunteers - artists range from professionals, through to secondary school students, students in community youth groups, and guardians who want to make their mark on their Library. The project has been a real community effort with neighbours, friends, workmates and local businesses all donating time, materials or talent.

These books are free, for people to take and keep, or pass on, or return to the original or another Lilliput Library. We encourage people, at some stage, to pop a replacement book in the Library so they are self-stocking with top ups by the Guardians! We're hoping they'll become focal neighbourhood spots - a bit like the old corner dairies!
