While we wait to hear what’s next for this beautiful building (and hope that it involves bookshelves ☺️), remember that you can find our books at all of the following places in KZN:

Grab a coffee, refreshing chilled drink or snacks from Love Coffee to enjoy before or after your browsing, or to sip on during silent reading from 12pm to 1pm.

For the first time on the feed, it’s our little free library at !

Located at , it’s one of our most serene spots: once you’ve grabbed a book from the shelf and a coffee from the cute, pink serving hatch, you can take your place on the veranda to read, sip, and enjoy the ocean breeze in the surrounding palm trees. 🌴

Want a little free library near you? We’re always happy to hear your venue suggestions! ✉️
Good books to donate or swap? Find all of our locations on the map and list linked in our bio, or get in touch if you’d like us to collect a larger donation. 📍
