As part of Indigenous Literacy Day on Wednesday September 2, we are holding a Great Book Swap to help raise funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation to buy books for remote indigenous communities who don’t have access to books. There are schools involved all across Australia and the target is $100,000 to buy 10,000 books.
If every child can please bring a book (or books) to school that they love but no longer want and a gold coin donation on Weds Sept 2nd, then they can be part of the book swap. By donating a gold coin, they can then swap their book for a new book that someone else has donated.
1. Books need to be dropped off in the gym before school starts, and the swap will happen at lunch time.
2. If you're wanting to swap more than one book, it's a gold coin for each book you want to swap. So if you swap five books, it's five coins.
3. This year if you want take home a junior book, please donate a junior book. If you want take home an older book, please donate an older book. Otherwise we end up with lots of books for little kids, but no books for the older kids.
4. Please don't donate school readers, library books, board books or really young picture books. Please just donate books you think someone will love!
See you all on Weds September 2nd so we can raise money, and all have a terrific new book to take home.
