NOW Bargara Book House -- moved from Maleny to Bargara in 2021 - Official Book Crossing Zone - OBCZ-BookHouse
________________________________________
2013 - 2020 Maleny Book House was an official Book Crossing Zone - OBCZ-BookHouse

Maleny Book House was completed in Apr 2013. Commissioned by Lisa Blainey, it was installed by a local Maleny woodworker and author Warne Wilson in its original location 4kms outside Maleny. In January 2014, it was moved into town, where it resided in the front garden of Maleny Credit Union (MCU) until January 2021. This was a central location, easy for people to use for many years. It ran into disrepair after Lisa left the area in 2016 and MCU changed hands. MCU staff suggested the new owners would want to make changes and it was agreed to move the Book House four hours north to the beachside suburb of Bargara. With the help of Matty G, chainsaw artist, the Book House was removed. Lisa has rejuvenated it, with new handmade letters, funky ceramic knobs, a total sand-down and repaint. The book reading community of Bargara is very excited about the new addition, located right outside Bargara Book Boutique, in Centrepoint Centre on Bauer St, opposite Bargara Hotel.

Please, if you find a 'travelling' book, log onto BookCrossing .com and register..it's FREE to do so! Leave a journal entry on the website. We all like to follow the journey of our released books. It's fun to see where they end up!

The Bargara Book House is run by a small group of volunteers who keep a loving eye on the books arriving, tidy them up as necessary, register them if needed, and release them into the wild to travel the world from our tiny Book House.
