In today’s digital age when you can get information quickly, there is a concern about children developing an appreciation for reading printed books. That’s why communities in Australia have come up with a way to convey a love of books in the younger generations.

To solve this problem, communities are bringing libraries to where the kids are: in the streets. The little libraries consist of boxes that are set up outside of houses or public spaces and are filled with books. People can take books they haven’t read and donate ones they have to the libraries.

Street Library Australia, a nonprofit, was started by Nick Lowe after he saw a Little Free Library on a trip to the USA. After an initial workshop in 2015 to build 30 libraries, the idea mushroomed and now there are 4,500 registered street libraries in Australia. “It just grew and grew,” he said.

The libraries come in all shapes and sizes. These libraries are completely voluntary and anyone can start one.

Pamela Zielke, who runs a library called Pam’s Pantry, gives out toys and craft supplies along with books. An early childhood educator, she started her library with the goal of rescuing books from dustbins. But the libraries are doing much more than just providing books-and other donated items-to people. The street libraries are also building community. “It’s a little stopping place outside your house,” said Lowe. “It’s a great way to meet people in your neighborhood who are also book lovers, recycle books, and find new books.”

These Little Street Libraries provided a valuable service during the outbreak of COVID-19 and the popularity has not waned. People use them to find books on specific hobbies like cooking, children are developing a love of reading books, and it is more convenient than going to a bookstore or a brick-and-mortar library. But even more importantly, with a shared interest, the libraries are bringing communities closer together.

Think of famous walkers and it is men like Willam Wordsworth and John Keats who likely spring to mind. But that's only half the story: here Andrews fills in the blanks with the history of women walkers of the last 300 years, including 18th-century walker Elizabeth Carter, Anais Nin, Nan Shepherd and Cheryl Strayed.

This comes with a warning: it will add many more books to your wish list. It celebrates 25 women writing about the outdoors, from historic people skilled in using words like Dorothy Wordsworth to contemporaries (当代人) like Camille T. Dungy. Devoted into their life and work, Aalto travels to the lands that they loved, trying to get walking and reading inspiration.

If you're eager for sunny islands, this book about backpacking around the Dodecanese is for you. Many of the villages on these Greek islands now lie deserted (荒芜的) and Barclay spent over four years exploring their ruins, gathering stories from the local people for this explanation.

Anyone who read W inn's first book, The Salt Path, about walking the South West Coast Path with her sick husband Moth, will want to know what happened next.
