Book drive going strong!

To kick off the donation drive for Lismore South Public School we put a shout out to our local publishing houses and Penguin Random House stepped up with an extremely generous donation of 300 Stage 1 and 2 books for immediate use by teachers in the classroom. A great start!

Since then, our incredibly big-hearted community has consistently been donating an incredible array of picture books, early readers, middle-grade fiction, non-fiction… The list goes on.

At the time of writing, hundreds of books have been delivered to Thirroul Public School and are now awaiting the construction of a new library for Lismore South.

To our local community, well done! Congratulations! Thank you! As you can imagine, it takes a LOT of books to stock a school library, so the drive continues…

Every book counts!
