At Little Scholars School of Early Learning, we’ve always believed that a love of reading begins in early childhood. Books open up new worlds — helping children grow their language, imagination, creativity, and confidence, all while building the foundations for lifelong learning.
That’s why we’re so proud to have Street Libraries at every one of our Little Scholars campuses. These special little libraries make it easy for families and our wider community to share books, stories, and the joy of reading together.
A Street Library is a small, community book-sharing box where anyone can take a book, leave a book, and connect through the joy of reading.
Each of our Street Libraries is filled with a rotating collection of books for all ages that families can borrow, read, and pass on. If yourself or your child has outgrown a favourite story, you can leave it behind for another reader to enjoy.
It’s a simple idea, yet it encourages lifelong learning, strengthens community connection, and brings a little extra magic to our campuses.
Reading plays an essential role in every stage of early childhood education. When children listen to stories, explore illustrations, and talk about what they see, they’re building vocabulary, comprehension, and a love of storytelling.
At Little Scholars, books and story time are woven into our daily learning experiences. Our Street Libraries extend this practice beyond the classroom — inspiring families to read together at home and making books accessible to everyone.
Even a few minutes of shared reading each day can make an incredible difference to a child’s language development and school readiness.
One of our favourite parts of this initiative is seeing children excitedly check the shelves to see which new books have arrived.
The Street Libraries give families the chance to discover new stories, revisit old favourites, and create meaningful moments together. Each shared reading experience builds not only literacy skills but also a sense of connection — between parents, children, and the joy of learning.
Our Street Libraries aren’t just for Little Scholars families — they’re for everyone. Neighbours, friends, and passers-by are all welcome to explore the shelves, borrow a story, or leave one behind.
This shared space reflects one of our core values at Little Scholars: community. Through these small acts of generosity, a book once loved by one child can easily become another child’s new favourite adventure.
Our Street Libraries are open and ready for everyone to enjoy. You can:
Every book shared helps keep our libraries thriving and supports early childhood literacy across our community.
While our Street Libraries may be small in size, their impact is anything but. By sharing stories, encouraging family reading, and connecting our community, these little boxes of books nurture a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
Next time you visit your local Little Scholars campus, stop by our Street Library. You might discover a new favourite story — or share the perfect one with a friend.
Take a book. Leave a book. Share the love of reading.
Our Kindergarten children had the opportunity to visit The Volunteer Marine Rescue at Jacobs Well recently.
This was a great opportunity for us to further engage with the people and services within our community. The children got to visit the control room and listen in on some communication, they also got to explore one of the rescue boats that was parked in the rescue office. The children had a fabulous time and learnt lots about the great service that the VMR offer.
