      Re-homing children's picture books

       

       

      Re-homing children's picture books

       

      The Tiny Treasures project facilitates the provision of pre-loved and new books to remote area primary school-age children in Australia. Tiny Treasures seek and collect donations of children's picture books throughout the year and re-distribute the books to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities nationally.

       

      In 2016 the Tiny Treasures project collected and distributed over 700 children's books to the Tiwi Islands; Bathurst and Melville Islands. We have established an ongoing partnership with the Tiwi Aboriginal community who are grateful for the assistance the Tiny Treasures project has provided.

       

      In 2019, Tiny Treasures delivered 1000 books to Cherbourg Shire Council in Central Queensland who added them to their Indigenous Learning Centre, to enable access for families to take home and read to their children

       

      In 2020, 800 books were sent to Castlemaine community Centre in central Victoria, for use as components of education packs to be sent to families across the region

    • Community Partnership
