Celebrate Indigenous Literacy Day at Readings

Come celebrate Indigenous Literacy Day with us! Buy a book and you’ll help raise funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

The Indigenous Literacy Foundation aims to raise literacy levels and improve the opportunities of Indigenous Australians living in remote and isolated regions. The foundation does this through a free book supply program that goes to over 200 organisations and communities, and through a community publishing project that publishes books and stories, largely written by children. The foundation needs your support to help raise funds to buy books and literacy resources for children in these communities.

On Wednesday 3 September, we will donate 10% of sales from our shops and online to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. You might like to browse our selection of Indigenous writing from Australia, or our selection of Recommended Indigenous Australian Children’s Books.

In addition, all online donations to the Readings Foundation during the month of September will go to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. Click here to make a donation.
