From Nights, 10:50 pm on 3 October 2024

Lilliput Libraries are celebrating nine years.

These are the small, painted, wooden cabinets on street corners where people can borrow and donate books for others for free -- all for the love of reading.

You will have seen these little libraries around - considering there are now 379 of them dotted all across the country.

Dunedin woman Ruth Arnison started the Lilliput Libraries she speaks to Emile Donovan about their success.
