Do you know a Library that could use a BOOST?

Schools across the country are signing up for the Library Boost Project to raise money for brand-new books and improve their libraries or fundraise for a school in need. The program makes it easy for schools to get involved, whether through a full Read-a-thon or a one-day event.

Orla from Nemingha Public School shared why it matters: "I love reading and I would like to see more new books in all school libraries."

With support from Dymocks Children's Charities, schools and organisations can make a real difference for young readers. Sign up here today to give your library a boost!
