Mossy Point resident and Eurobodalla Woodcraft Guild member Mark Barraclough has just put up the shire’s third book exchange booth outside his Mossy Point home.

Like two others in Broulee, it is expected to be a blockbuster.

The cutely-crafted wooden booths stand two metres high, have three shelves and a Perspex window.

They are placed on the street and for readers to exchange books.

The two Broulee exchanges, in Clarke Street and Elizabeth Drive, have been a hit with people of all ages, and the turnover has left a smile on Mr Barraclough’s face.

“I’m very pleased it has been popular,” he said.

“I thought people might not respond to it.”

The story began 12,500km away in Vancouver, Canada, where Mr Barraclough and his wife were visiting their son, daughter-in-law and grandchild in 2013.

“There were a number of the exchanges there, and I was so taken by them,” he said.

In January, he built one and put it up outside his then Clarke Street home.

A fellow Woodcraft Guild member did the same in Elizabeth Drive.

“They don’t take long to fill up,” he said.

“People of all ages come.

“Everyone who sees them loves them.”

The books are as varied as the readers, including fiction, non-fiction, magazines, children’s colouring books and more.

“They are really good books; not just people’s rubbish,” Mr Barraclough said.

He said there had been no instances of vandalism against any of the booths.

“I was worried it might happen, but I was prepared to take the risk,” he said.

“The worst that has been put in was an empty beer can.”
