More than 55 readers brought their books and chairs to the main street of Kyogle today for a bookish flash mob.
Kyogle Reads the Street was hosted by the Kyogle Readers and Writers Festival.
A couple from Fairy Hill won a double pass to the festival for dressing up as Biggles and Miss Bennett from Pride and Prejudice.
Everyone else received a single pass from the Kyogle Readers and Writers Festival team.
It was simply wonderful to see a row of people reading books trail down Summerland Way in front of the shops.
There should be more of it – reading that is.
And you can do plenty of that – and listening and meeting people at the Readers and Writers Festival in Kyogle next weekend.
Check out the festival program for May 17–18 here.
