The Great Book Swap

Save the dates! Commencing the week starting 30 May 2022 the Library is hosting a Great Book Swap to raise funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) provide books and learning resources to children living in remote communities across Australia. This year ILF aims to raise $150,000 to gift 15,000 culturally relevant books to kids and families in remote communities across Australia. 

Here’s how you can join in:

  • Bring in a book you would like to swap between 23 – 27 May. (Note: We know you love your Colleen Hoover books but please keep them to yourselves).
  • Alternatively, if you don’t have a book to swap just bring in a gold coin donation on the day.
  • You will receive one ticket to the book swap for every book you bring in and for every gold coin donation you make.
  • In addition to being able to swap a book every student who participates will go into the draw to win a prize.

The Great Book Swap will run on the following days at lunch time in the library:
