Books n Boots Inc. was established in 2015 in response to the growing demand for books in First Nations rural and remote communities and schools. We saw this as a vital element in helping close the literacy gap for First Nations children. National studies have shown that a child who is assisted by parents at home in reading, and read to, not only begins learning earlier but has a more thorough understanding of the elements of literature.

We began by lobbying for pre-loved books in the community and advertising for private donors. Our Board consists of 100% First Nations Directors. We continue to work with existing education and sporting organisations in partnering communities, without duplicating the valuable assistance they already provide.
