There’s a new selection of Island Magazine back issues at the Picnic Basket Recyclibrary in Taroona - woot!

Thank you! We now have veritable plethora of fabulous books for Dunalley Primary School!

Generous-hearted book lovers!

Thank you all so much for your overwhelmingly lovely donations to the Dunalley Primary School Library book appeal! In case you haven’t heard from Fullers Bookshop, between us all, we’ve now collected enough books to restock the library - hoorah!

If you still have books you’d like to donate, please, hold onto them for a little while - we will let you know when we’re ready to receive more shortly.

Best bookish regards,

The Recyclibrarians

Today, one of our finest Recyclibrarians, Ms. Paige Turner, hands in her bookseller’s apron at Fullers Hobart, to take up the red pen of co-editor at Island Magazine. We are so proud! Do drop into Fullers and wish her well in her new role!

The Recyclibrarians would like to express their great concern for all those, human or otherwise, affected by the terrible Tasmanian bushfires. Miss Wimple herself grew up in the Sorell Municipality, and is especially disheartened to see so many homes, farms and forests destroyed by these terrible flames.

We are still taking collections of books at Fullers in Hobart, and will be running a Recyclibrary out that way shortly. Children’s books are especially in demand - Fullers are organizing a drop off of books to the Dunalley Primary School, who lost everything in the fires - please dig deep through your book shelves for donations to this lovely initiative.

“Give me books, fruit, French wine and fine weather and a little music out of doors, played by someone I do not know. I admire lolling on a lawn by a water-lilied pond to eat white currants and see goldfish: and go to the fair in the evening if I’m good. There is not hope for that -one is sure to get into some mess before evening.”

- John Keats was a clever man. Miss Wimple is in the tropics, focused on mangos rather than currants, admiring fish in many more colours than gold, and hoping not to get into too many messes before evening.

Hello book and bread lovers,

It has come to our attention that the previous link we sent you to the Picnic Basket, site of tomorrow’s Mini-Recyclibrary launch, did not work. Sorry about that. Please try this one instead:

Hope to see you tomorrow from 10.30am for a nice cup of tea!

Mini-Recyclibrary launch at the Picnic Basket, Taroona this Sunday!

Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:35:00 +1000

Friends! Patrons! Literary lovers of all things pastry!

We are delighted to announce the launch of our first mini-Recyclibrary, at the Picnic Basket in Taroona!

The Recyclibrary elves have been busy hammering, sanding, and nailing, and have installed a little bitty Recyclibrary in Kel and Simmo’s bakery on the corner of the Channel Highway and Jenkins Street, Taroona (just across the road from the Taroona Lounge Bar) - http://taroona.tas.au/bakery. You can visit this permanent teensy Recyclibrary for a quick book swap during regular bakery hours whenever you feel the need for a fresh literary infusion.

Do come along and join us for a nice cup of tea, perhaps bring a book to share, and watch us spilling croissant crumbs everywhere from 10.30am this Sunday 23rd September.

Book love and Lady Grey,

The Recyclibrarians

P.S. - For those of you who didn’t see on our website/facebook page/twitter feed -

We are (mildly) famous! The Recyclibrary features in the just-released Hobart edition of the Hide & Seek series, a compendium of the ephemeral and little-known pleasures of the town we call home. Have a look at our website for images of this lovely little pocket book - we believe PaigeTurner may have a stash of them at Fullers. Recyclibrary.tumblr.com
