Surprise for a footpath librarian

An honour of another kind goes to Sarah Garnett, founder of Sydney's Benjamin Andrew Footpath Library, which collects books and hands them out to homeless people and hostels.

(She credits the Herald with being her first book donor and was one of The Sydney Magazine's Top 100 influential people last year.) In August, she will feature on Channel Nine's Random Acts Of Kindness, a show that recognises unsung heroes. Garnett was filmed at a surprise morning tea at the NSW Art Gallery and her gifts from the show include a van that will help with book distribution and a painting by Michael, an artist who is one of her "favourite" book clients and has been through hard times because of illness and his son's schizophrenia.
