we love to give back at little read book co. and we love that you help us to do so!
quite often we'll have people ask if they can donate books to us. we decided to say yes and raise funds for charity from the sales of donated books. a minimum of $5 from each book that has been donated to us goes to our current charity.
each quarter, we pick a charity to donate to. any profits from donated books are added to the kitty as well as other cash we've raised through fundraising or where we've been offered on a discount on a market stall etc.
if you'd like to donate good quality books, find out how over at our frequently asked questions page.

Indigenous Literacy Foundation
we also support the Indigenous Literacy Foundation throughout the year by donating $10 from the sale of books written by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors to the ILF.
The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) is a national charity working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander remote Communities across Australia. We are Community-led, responding to requests from remote Communities for culturally relevant books, including early learning board books, resources, and programs to support Communities to create and publish their stories in languages of their choice.
