About Pteropus Public Bookcase
This is a page about the Pteropus Public Bookcase. A street library, book swap or public bookcase that can currently be found in \Townsville, Australia.
The name Pteropus Public Bookcase is to honour flying foxes, megabats who are in the genus Pteropus. They are a mammal native to the area in which the bookcase resides, an underloved yet important pollinator. They are intelligent, curious, gentle and social travellers.
This street library is also a tribute to my mother, Catherine, who passed away from Leukaemia in 2024. She inspired in me a lifelong love of reading, and who was an avid reader herself. She taught me to have a kind heart and an open mind.
Pteropus Public Bookcase is:
- Street Library community member: 6732
- Little Free Library charter: 199070
