Bring back the books

In an act of bookish bastardry, a faceless killjoy has forced Council to ban the free books of Bondi.

For 17 years Jane Turner and her team at Gertrude & Alice, Bondi's famous bookstore, have provided a free community service to the elderly, the poor, the netflix-less, and all booklovers of Bondi, via our beloved curbside book fete.

In an act of bookish bastardry, a faceless killjoy has forced Council to ban the free books of Bondi.

For 17 years Jane Turner and her team at Gertrude & Alice, Bondi's famous bookstore, have provided a free community service to the elderly, the poor, the netflix-less, and all booklovers of Bondi, via our beloved curbside book fete.

This Bondi institution is our defacto public library offering good reads, great feeds and a chance to rub shoulders with Bondi's literati. Not everyone can afford to buy or get out to borrow a new book every week. 

Jane lovingly curates a selection of books for our community.  Books that would otherwise languish in landfill. What could enrich people's lives at no cost, are instead needlessly destroyed.

Books matter because ideas matter, and no one should be excluded from the conversation.

Free the books! Bring back the books!

Keep it short and sweet and polite too!

Our Councillors care about our community. This is likely a beuracratic blunder without oversight  so let them know this has happened and that you'd like them to intervene.

A few lines is all it takes so don't feel you need to write War & Peace!

And mention why this is important to you personally. Good luck!
