Ways to donate

We've been overwhelmed with love and support shown to our libraries through physical book donations. refurbishment is still ongoing and library storage is at capacity. As such, we're currently not accepting any new book donations.
You can still make a monetary donation or purchase a book of your choosing for our libraries from one of our flood recovery partners (listed below). Thank You!
