Storyfest Beach Library
More than 10,000 books are expected to be released into the hands of Gold Coast locals and tourists, as the hugely popular ‘Somerset Storyfest Beach Library’ lands on Surfers Paradise beach for 20 days of literary fun, ahead the 2019 Somerset Storyfest next month.
From Friday February 8 to February 24, visitors will be able to pick up a complimentary new or previously loved library book from bookcases lined on the sands of Surfers Paradise beach, as they mosey around the precinct or read by the ocean.
Somerset Storyfest is supporting City of Gold Coast Libraries’ work in igniting the passion for books and shedding light on literacy proficiency, with the Gold Coast Libraries is donating hundreds of previously loved library books as part of their ‘Books Set Free’ scheme.
