Read and relax among the reservoir gardens
The City of Sydney’s popular Lawn Library is branching out to the Paddington Reservoir Gardens, where booklovers can enjoy a week of free books, jazz, drawing classes and children’s storytelling.
The pop-up library, which houses an ever-changing collection of over 1,000 books and is a hub for events and activities, will be at the award-winning gardens from Saturday 29 March to Sunday 6 April.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the Lawn Library was the perfect fit for the Paddington Reservoir Gardens on the corner of Oxford Street and Oatley Road, which is already a favourite spot for workers on their lunchbreak.
“Lawn Library first appeared at the Festival Village at Hyde Park in January and was an instant success, with more than 11,000 books shared over three weeks,” the Lord Mayor said.

Wood Smoke Reduction
Council is set to receive funding to participate in the 2014 wood smoke reduction program thanks to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Lithgow Council was successful in its application for funding to the EPA and has received $30,000 to participate in the 2014 Wood Smoke Reduction Program.
“Council is very pleased to have been selected for this program which will provide cash incentives for the replacement of ineffective wood heaters with cleaner forms of heating. This will be a perfect partner for Council's alternate fuel rebate program for the removal and replacement of coal fired appliances which has been in operation for some years”, said Lithgow City Council Mayor, Councillor Maree Statham.
