BETTER LIVES

Like us, you probably know that books improve lives.

If you would like to provide books that will really make a difference for people in our community, please get in touch (or just specify in the ‘notes’ field when placing an order).

Donations can be large or small, one-off or ongoing — they will all be placed where they will be most appreciated and most effective.

You probably have an idea of where you would like books to go, but here are some suggestions of recipients we have supported or would be keen to support:

  • Schools (your choice and/or lower decile)

  • Preschools and kohanga reo

  • Refugee welcoming and support

  • Hospitals

  • Te reo Māori resource enrichment

  • Climate action groups
