We are getting ready for the annual Great Book Swap, and all four campus Libraries are now accepting donations of new or lightly used books, puzzles and board games. 

Donated items will be sold at pop-up sale stalls at Brunswick, Bundoora and city campuses in September, with all funds raised going to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF).

Look for the donation box near the Concierge desk at your campus Library.

If you’d like to support this year’s fundraiser monetarily, you can also donate money directly to our fundraiser page.

About the Great Book Swap fundraiser

The Great Book Swap celebrates reading locally and learning more about Indigenous Languages and culture, while raising funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF). The ILF is a national community-led foundation that provides books, literacy resources and publishing opportunities for remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities across Australia.
