Our partners include playgroups, childcare, schools, charities, local government, neighbourhood houses, refuges and health centres. We work primarily in Melbourne but have also supplied partners in other parts of Australia and abroad.
To date we have distributed more than 20,000 books.
We have a partnership with Savers thrift stores where unsold books are collected regularly to feed into the program. We also accept donations from individuals and other organisations.
